Great idea and a good pivot.

My recommendations:

- No autoplay on the video with audio. Either let me click play or remove the audio in favor of subtitles

- The logo seems small compared to the rest of the site

- May need to reword some of the taglines in the body... I should understand exactly what the site does without having to watch the video. If it piques my interest, then I can watch the video for more information.

> No autoplay on the video with audio

We tried several approaches with video, and unfortunately no one ever clicked 'play'. Since the entire motivation for the service is given in that video we really wanted it to be seen. I was worried about getting your kind of feedback, so I guess we'll have to rethink this.

> I should understand exactly what the site does without having to watch the video

This feeds into what's discussed above.

Thanks!
