Versal - HTML5 education platform (splash)

At the risk of being rude, this website really couldn't say anything less.

* What is it about? An education platform for who? Without clicking "sign up" I haven't the faintest clue. What am I signing up for? A visualization library? A tutoring system?

Other materials say "The Education OS", and that used to be in the <title>, but I guess it was scrubbed. (If you'd like to view the older landing page, I uploaded the image: http://i.imgur.com/BHYlR.png)

* HTML5 what? I didn't see anything that wasn't possible before HTML5 on any of the pages, and the only mentions are in biographies. Why put it in the title if only to tease us? That makes it feel like linkbait.

* About: "We'll be ready to share more details next year." Wouldn't it be better if you waited to submit until then?

I find it hard to imagine how I could be less impressed with this landing page, even if it does look pretty nice. In this age of launchrock pages that usually amount to nothing, I expect more of an HN post than a vacuous mission statement and email signup button from any serious startup!

Education reform is the issue that drew me here to Hacker News,

so I am very interested in the new project mentioned in this thread. I'll look forward to hearing more about it.

AFTER EDIT: I can confirm that a bug I reported on this site by how I first posted my comment has been fixed. Thanks.

AFTER FURTHER EDIT: I agree with the other comments posted here that the website developers might as well say as much of what they already know about their company as possible, the better to satisfy website visitor curiosity. Not everyone will be as motivated as I am to sign up for information from a sparse new website. I also wonder if the design is a responsive site design, as one of my browsers shows a horizontal scrollbar that doesn't appear to be strictly necessary. Following up on that comment, some HN participants say they don't see the horizontal scrolling behavior on their browswers. I see it on Chrome, on the Web-reading monitor in my two-monitor setup, at the default zoom I usually have set. I see the horizontal scrollbar briefly appear, and then resolve away, on another browser on my wider monitor (usually used for my text editor) as I zoom in. Probably the media query needs a bit more tweaking in the site's CSS.

Interested to find out what versal is about, but the widget on the homepage doesn't seem to be working correctly. I'd expect:

  sin(2x)/2 == sin(2*x)/2
  sin(x) + sin(x) == 2*sin(x) 
  and none of sin(x^2)/2, sin(x*x)/2, sin(x)+cos(x) are correct.

This sounds like the BS that "social media" experts say. All fluff and no meaning. The website gives zero information about what they are doing while using some key buzzwords. It just reeks of an opportunist salesman trying to make some money by selling people snake oil.

landing page feedback: I thought about signing up. Clicked 'signup' and was greeted by a dialog that would only allow me to select 'Javascript Developer' which I am not, nor do I wish to be. I'd like to choose 'Educator' but that choice was also not avaiable.
