I want to see the actual product. Cool animations but a picture is worth 1000 words

The intro video on the homepage shows the actual software in action at around 53 seconds (mouse over the video to unveil the seek bar).

Exactly, here's the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHI5-ne2F2I&feature=youtu.be...

I thought this was vapourware.

The best video you can show for this is your JIRA board where everyone can update it in realtime in a team meeting with remote teams.

Don't bother with the animations, they make your product look not real! Very impressive.

Thanks for your feedback. We felt that it's hard to get the concept across without showing both clients. But thanks again for the input, we'll show the real interactions more prominently.

If you just show people using it for real work you will be okay

True, will do!

My initial reaction was, “no, there was no video on that page,” so I went back to look.

A lot of browsers disable audio on auto play videos. The fact that the controls are also hidden and the background color being the same as the website, it just looks like an animation, not a video. So some icons move but the meat of the video doesn’t start until after people will have disengaged.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll fix that...

So you have to wait until 2/3 of the way through the video to see the actual software.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll add screenshots more prominently to reduce the wait...
