    I think it's better if you make the demo video to focus solely on product tour, and perhaps make it shorter?

    For the copy, I don't think it's clear enough for me. However, it's not totally unclear either. Maybe I tried hard to understand what the term is.

    Anyhow, wish the product take off! πŸš€

    • https://porysays.com/landing/landing.svg image while nice I don't think contributes to the landing page
    • The word cloud seems to focus on more experienced traders, while the 5 year backtracking might possibly be low for them... Did you consider what the optimal first customer looks like?
    • Integrations, specially when you have "buy" and "sell" actions, I expect like a financial institution list or something, Google and slack don't handle my finance matters...
      What is the expected output from the integrations? (I fell your going to say alerts, but are these good options for the customer?)

    Hello, I am the head of the Finance team at Algorithmic Trading Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. May we be an early customer of yours? Your software would be great to help teach newcomers about algo trading. I have subscribed on the website.

      That would be amazing! Yes we would love for you to be one of our first users. We'll let you know when we launch around May :)

    Looks great! How did you make that bird logo on top? It looks great!

    I don't like the font as it is typically what i associate with wordpress, or some literary site, looks artsy and reminds me of a typewriter. That's totally my personal opinion :)

      Interesting association :P The little bird is created on Sketch using vectors.

    I like the idea. I've had daydreams of building something like this myself.

    I signed up for the beta but to be honest, I'm not currently a stock trader and I think I would only use this as a learning tool and to experiment with back testing. Using real money in an automated trading system scares me.

    I am curious how you're planning on pricing the product?

      That's great to hear! Don't worry we have paper trading set up for you to run your strategies on and also learning material will be a huge focus.

      As to pricing the product, I haven't thought much about it yet πŸ€”

    If 100% of your path is a video, I think you should invest more in it...
    It does give some authority using a public with audience video, but I don't think it's a good one for landing page, it's slow, monotonic, talks to developers, sounds like the product is far from usable IMHO...

      Thanks for this feedback, I agree it's really long and boring and needs to be replaced with something more succinct and flashy. πŸ™ƒ

    Full screen for the video not allowed? :narrow_eyes:

      I noticed this too and I think it should be fixed. In the mean time, if you do want to watch it full screen you can click the YouTube logo to open it up in another tab.

    Who we integrate with = integration partners.

    Looks good!

    Video alternative text & images?
    Not everyone would want to watch the video at all, some not before knowing what's going on..

    How about not forcing the name in the registration?
    Is the name worth losing probably a few tens of percent conversion?

      Great pick up, I noticed other companies asking for email only too. I'll remove it :)

      Can you please hard refresh, you're on a really early version still :)
