Roast my landing page 🔥
Hi Hackers,
I’ve constructed the home page for my new side project and would love your thoughts.
Areas of particular concern:
- Is the product clear and understandable
- Does it accurately convey the time savings and simplicity.
Really want to get the landing page right before building out the others. Give the loom a watch too 😉
Have at it!

Hi Saul! I tried opening your website https://brandall.dev/ is unreachable right now...
I still have some pointers: I saw someone else mention your Google Lighthouse scores. Since your target audience is frontend React developers, they will absolutely inspect your source code and check your performance metrics. You have to eat your own dog food here!
I’m currently architecting a Next.js 16 CMS, and we realized that the only way to guarantee 100/100 Lighthouse scores by default was to completely ban raw HTML from our database and use strict JSONB for our block editor to prevent parsing lag.
Are your performance bottlenecks coming from the UI library you are using, or is it mostly just unoptimized images on the landing page?
It's simple but there is a lot of empty space on every section, you can reduce the empty spaces or fill it with something.
Thanks for giving the site a look. To see if our messaging is clear, could you tell me what you think the product does?
Check out your Google Lighthouse. Lots of easy wins by adding image width, height, and alt. Link alts, html lang etc.
I didn't fully get the concept until about the third section down the page. It might help to clarify earlier that this product is for React apps.
Thanks for the Google Lighthouse suggestion!
I see the confusion. It's actually for any frontend framework, just chose the react snippet.
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm pretty sure I understand what you do.
IMMO:
Simplicity = yes
Time Savings = No
Overall, I don't really understand the value proposition of the app, but that's maybe because I'm not your target audience. :) The white space between sections feels a bit odd and inconsistent. Consider using a typescale to establish better hierarchy. Also, try reducing the line height in the H1 and the letter-spacing in your content.
