Feedback request for new landing page/beta app

I've been working on this for the last 6 months, and after much prodding from friends I am releasing it to the wild.

The basic idea is that:

[1] Therapy/recovery works.

[2] Therapy/recovery is expensive so people don't do it (or do it on and off which is bad).

[3] The stuff you do in therapy/recovery can be done by yourself by writing on a computer (research says it still works).

[4] If you can make a free interactive therapy app that combines journaling, therapy/recovery content prompts, and a social group therapy aspect, all of which "work," maybe it will stick and make a difference.

[5] Everything else out there didn't do it for me in some way or is too expensive.

Anyways here is the site:

metaxy.io

The app is linked from there. It is a Progressive Web App so you can add it to your home screen. Would love any feedback or ideas for spreading it. I am not a professional web dev, and have weird tastes, so technical and design feedback would be appreciated. I learned/used React and Node to make it.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

    Hi There!
    First of all good job with learning react+node.js.
    So few points:
    -The design is how you said a bit weird, but that's not a good thing. Imho its good to have a diffrent design than another tons of sites.
    -I would focus on home page and little better copywriting, I would like to understand what is that web app about. Like 'we will help you out get rid of daily stress', actually I still don't understand the concept. Like most of the people in this fast word - spend few seconds/minutes on website and it does not attract them they move ahead somewhere else. Same with me, I read secion About and how it works, but still did not quite get it.
    It needs a bit more catchy homepage landing page.

    • I would not bother with what tech stack you used, if it works - that's enough, when you generate some revenue or interest you can invest some time or money to tune it up

    Good luck with that!

      Thanks for that feedback, I agree that the messaging has to be simplified more. My plan is to reach out to some health professionals and work with them to test it, but it would great if it could be direct to consumer too. For that to work it definitely has to be simple and catchy!
