I like the design but that automatic slideshow changing every 2 seconds is annoying... That close to the text it disrupts reading, and I don't even have enough time to watch the image (I can pause with mouse but by the time I learn that I'm already annoyed).

Reminds me of this thread "Don’t Use Automatic Image Sliders or Carousels": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4595026

Thanks for the honest feedback. We've been wanting to update the page for some time, but just haven't found the time yet. Will keep that in mind for the next revision.

I'm working a lot on my open source projects, building a good portfolio. I'm hoping I can get to a point where I find something worth charging for, but for now I'm building tools on weekends and using a large and well-received portfolio to garnish some attention.

Great idea you've got there. I wish you only success!

Thanks! Oddly enough, we started building this to raise money for a personal project and only later did we decide to sell it. Turns out that was a smart move.

I can sympathize with your weekend pace. We worked on this for a year before it started getting any attention, and it's still not nearly as polished as we'd like it to be.

great! you actually solved a problem which others did not and you're a winner.
