You guys need a little love on your page :) I've not heard of it before so I google it and get to what appears to be the home page, and am presented with a login box with zero info about what it is, or why I would want to register or log in in the first place. Plus 3 of the links in the header aren't linked to anything. Not the best first impression!

Yeah, it does need some love. We're aware and plan on really fixing it up over the next month or so. For the most part almost all engineers on the team are working on some fundamental part of our medium to long-term vision and we're mainly trying to bring all those parts together in a coherent way first.

Another reason for its current state, is that the tech media and the community have been quite eager to take care of our positioning and messaging, so we haven't had to focus engineering effort on these areas too much in order to see adoption and growth. Improvements are coming. Look out for changes to the site over the next 1-2 months.
