I like how the animation in the header of the website requires two of my CPU cores at full speed.
Also offering piping to bash as first alternative for installing something.

This looks like a very cool thing, and an important missing piece.
They really should, for security reasons, spend the 5 seconds it'd take to separate those into two commands, or come up with a better way to do things (which would probably take more than 5 or 30 seconds).
Reminds me of pip (python packaging manager), who will, almost narcissistically, remind you about how important it is to use secure connections for python repos, and in fact will refuse to run without a bevy of flags set explicitly allowing any kind of insecure or unverified package, but first ask you to download and run a python script with an embedded binary, because that's the only way they could think of to get bootstrapping working.
But drive-by potshots at other peoples' impressive work is gratuitously negative. Why not nitpick the copy editing, while we're here?
Pipe to shell grinds my gears. At the very minimum, it should be replaced with `curl -o https://hyper.sh/install && bash install`, to at least validate that curl believes the http request returned OK. Realistically, that's no different from how all software everywhere is installed until/unless it's incorporated into a previously-trusted package manager repository.
This just screams "cargo cult".
