My attempt #2 for a good landing page
Hey, hackers!
I am working on validating my idea for an interactive content creation tool. The initial version of landing was so technical, I decided to rewrite everything to be centered around publishers and writers needs.
I added some live examples - so should be fun exploring it. Please help me understand if the value proposition is clear and what is still wrong?
Also, some background for those, who interested:

I sort of understand what you are offering (some vague idea), but the best way is show me an actual "interactive story" which I can play with and get me hooked.
lots of cool stuff going on. and great product. :)
but yeah, as everyone else is saying:
just change your type and potentially font-color / weight as well
Is it ok to leave the font as is (San Francisco)? I like it much:) Just darken color and make it thicker?)
send a link to a new page with thicker, darker font?
check it out back at site) new darker fonts are there:)
Definitely, i am just having breakfast) will send as soon as i fix this)
Thanks for help)
yeh, fonts better.
nice one :)
The type is the #1 biggest problem here. At least use a thicker weight, example:

You somehow changed the font on the site? Is it possible with chrome dev tools?
Yeah, use the arrow selector, choose the element you want to change, and the CSS rulesets will show up and you can add properties/values there.
Edit: It doesn't persist though ;P. If you refresh, the changes are lost.
Font weight improvement would really help out the site here. Feels like a designer made a decision here to go with a trendy Light theme 😎
thanks, I will change fonts:) designer is me and I am not a designer, and also have a hi-res monitor, so hard to understand the readability. Thanks again!
The colour is incredibly hard to read, too.
Hey there @ilyakuprik , I looked through the landing page and below is my feedback 👍
The three animated components on the right, definitely caught my attention, but they looked a bit more like banner ads for some reason. I usually block these, so that was the reason they caught my attention. By looking at them carefully I realised what they are, but wasn't immediately obvious.
The font I find a bit thin and light (in colour). It's not that readable, I find myself squinting at times. A darker and a bit bolder/thicker font would improve readability.
The drawings next to the paragraphs are not that clear what they are meant to be. They look like a very early wireframe mock-up (something done on Balsamiq). It feels a bit like they are temporary placeholders.
Maybe a logo would be nice on top left (in the nav).
Let me know, if you need any clarifications on what I meant in any of my points. Besides that, the product has potential. Respect for working on it and good luck with this project!
Thanks, Julian, that really helps.
The animations are here to catch attention, so they did the trick. Probably I should make it a little simpler so they better convey the value.
The mockups are intentionally here, they provide the general idea of a formats structure (like timeline cards), rather than the content itself. But if you have a suggestion, how to explain formats better, you are very welcome to share
Thank you for help!
Welcome, keep at it! Let us know how it goes 👍
Hi,
i have problems reading the text. Dark gray on light gray is really hard to read. Especially when coming from a side with dark theme (like indiehackers). I need like 5-10 seconds to focus on the text and start reading. Could you improve the contrast just a little bit more?
Same for the screenshots/images on the very bottom of the page. There the font size is too small to read it. Either improve the size or remove the text in the images.
Furthermore i quite like the landing page. You have a consistent theme and i think i understood what your product is about.
Sorry for the short answer, just having lunch ;)
Thanks, will definitely fix the fonts. Good news is that idea is understandable:) If you have any suggestions on how to further improve value prop - very welcome:)
