Brutal honesty on this mental health landing page for engineers

No mercy. Thanks.
In general, I think your landing page is really great, and was interesting and fun to scroll through!
I don't agree with asebold@ that it was too long.
I agree with JotItUp@ that something seems a little off with the exact copy. Taking the the very top for example, "helps you cope with COVID-19 feelings with a science-backed self-awareness method." seems a little too wordy.
Maybe something like:
HEADLINE: Pause uncertainty and COVID-19 worries with a tiny step
SUBHEAD: Talkit is a science-backed Slack app that boosts self-awareness and helps you cope with your feelings
Similarly, the "We'll get through this together" section felt like too much to read without much to grab me from the generic graphic and the headline.
Thanks for posting this! I realized my landing page is way too wordy, and yours is much better than mine. Feel free to be brutally honest with me, if you have time.
Had to laugh that you're looking for "no mercy" and "brutal honesty" for an emotional well being app! XD
It looks like you're using at least two different fonts which decreases the overall unity. Try limiting it to one font (I think the font you're using in the descriptions is simpler and better than the one in the headers).
You also might want to consider limiting your color scheme. Right now yellow, blue, and pink are all used prominently and it's a bit distracting.
merci is French for "thank you". I think you mean no mercy.
On that note, the copy seems like it was written by someone where English is not their primary language. The headline and subheadline in the hero unit seem slightly off. Even for a native English speaker, getting these right can be a challenge. Maybe "Manage fear and uncertainty with one simple step" or further from your original headline, "Struggling with the uncertainty around COVID-19?" "Try the Slack App that uses science-backed methods to help you cope." Like I said, this is challenging even if English is your first language. My main advice is to try to use as few words as you can to get your point across. You want it to be prominent and easy to read. After that, I'd increase the font size.
