In agreement, several aspects of this website immediately made me brush off the project and whoever created it.

- GitHub star count in huge text at the top, seeking validation?

- Doesn't explain what the heck the project does, but "React Cosmos 5 in 21 tweets" ... I have to read a thread of tweets to understand what this is for?

- "Don't settle for localhost:3000" okay, demean the way that tons of us develop web based applications currently

The docs tell you to open it on port 5000, which is a higher number, so it's obviously better.

Jokes aside, it did take me a long time to figure out what the product was, and I'm still not sure I fully understand. At the moment I just feel a bit overwhelmed by buzzwords, and I don't see how this would benefit my development experience.

No offense to the product creator though, I'm sure it's a great tool.

I don’t find it demeaning at all. It’s just offering something better.
