This looks incredible, and its obvious that a lot of work has been done, but in exploring it I notice a lot of things that make me hesitate to spend the money!

First, in the section "Expressions are flashcards on steroids", the flavor text on each element (Translations, Audio, etc) is identical.

Next, I look at the pricing and get one idea. Then when I create an account and go to upgrade, I see completely different pricing options. Its not that I care so much about the options, but it kind of worries me!

At one point I swear I saw the phrase "Say something about comprehensible input" instead of an explanation of CI, and the sentence itself was duplicated but now I don't. Maybe you are making this landing page live? It _is_ a nice landing page, to be sure.

Overall, I think it looks really cool and I'm interested in trying it out but just a little nervous at the moment.

What the heck? Thank you for bringing the flavor text issue to my attention. You have no idea how long I spent making sure the copy on each of those to make sure they were unique, fit all screen sizes, etc. I have no idea what happened and I’m tragically upset now XD

The “say something about comprehensible input” was indeed a funny copy issue I found a few weeks ago. edit: found and fixed! original: I thought I fixed it though, there must be a screen size that needs to be updated. I’ll look for it, but it’s a framer website so I can’t grep. Let me know if you find it again!

Indeed I just launched the new page with the new pricing. I have two major tasks this week, the second of which is to update the pricing flow to match the new prices on the home page.

It’s a one man show and fully bootstrapped, so apologies about the disarray. Everything takes a month or two to migrate when you do all the design, marketing, engineering, support, and bug fixes yourself!

EDIT: Both the flavor text and the “say something about ci” have been fixed. The upgrade flow will take a few days. I am planning to grandfather everyone who signs up for the old plan ($10pm) into the new plan ($20pm) at the old price :)

Impressive turn around in general, that certainly instills some confidence!

It does look great, so kudos!

Heh I can’t promise much, but I can promise I’m working on it full-time 7 days a week and am moving as fast as I can! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the support card on the dashboard (it all goes straight to me)
