Not a single screenshot on the homepage? The number zeroth thing I want to see is a picture of the thing. Maybe even a gif or a silent autoplay video. I saw there's a video but it's a guy who's gonna talk. I just want to see the product.


It’s basically just an icon in the top bar. There really isn’t much of an interface, which is wonderful.


Please watch the video and then tell us what would have been a good screenshot.


I believe 0:19 would make for a better thumbnail than the current. Shows the video is actually a product demo and not fluff from a talking head

As far as a screenshot for product? Not sure, it really stays out of the way which I like but that makes it difficult to convey visually. Which you seem to have realized :)


Funny thing is, this is a pairing app. It's actually better if it gets out of the way. But I agree, that thumbnail with both screen and speaker would be better. I think something with more on content on screen than just a dropdown from the contact list would look better. Either code or that fancy network monitor (plus the speaker).


I didn't even realize there was a video, but I certainly wouldn't have watched it, that's just not super thoughtful design, and the thumbnail kind of looks like a chatbot sort of thing, which in 2021 is something I ignore like banner ads.

I realize that watching a video is maybe how a lot of product companies wish potential customers made decisions, but much like an elevator pitch, if I can't scroll the website and have a glance at what the product looks like, I ain't gunna watch a vidya bud.
