I've definitely seen the light on the homepage thanks to you guys. (BTW, the bounce rate on '/' is 50% and time on page is 2 minutes. That's actually not too bad I think. But point is still taken. The homepage looks bad even to me now.)
I'm not convinced I want to kill the home/landing page. I think it could still serve a purpose, just with extreme optimization. I could see putting something actionable on there (entering your first todo). Then of course at the extreme end is your idea. I'll have to think about this pretty hard. Maybe even A/B test it.
I think the point about arrows as buttons is a really good one. I haven't seen any metrics that people aren't acting on them, but I think your intuition is spot on that you lose these kind of stand-out action verbs that reinforce what the app is all about. I think I just overdid it on trying to keep the design "slick" rather than abiding by long-standing conventions.
Thanks for the feedback!
