The announcement post [0] looks nice, but maybe the landing page could use a bit more information than just the login and register fields?
The reason the landing page sucks is because Ballistic wasn't really intended to be a product. I created it mainly for two reasons:
1. I made a simpler version of the app before to learn node and found myself using it often. I wanted a version with more features and so I created Ballistic.
2. I wanted to use it as a portfolio item I could reference when applying to jobs which require Node/Angular.
I still think you're right though, so I quickly updated the landing page. Hopefully it's a little more clear now.
As it is, I'm not going to sign up without some clear value. Hope to see it again with an improved landing page.
