To start, I just want to say that I like the concept of this a lot. It's one of those "Why didn't I think of this?" ideas.
But to be a little critical, the web site for it needs some work. It's too heavy on the shadow effect for the text in the body and the menu. It's tough to read.
I get that the plugin uses some high-end Javascript but maybe it's best left for the plugin and not the promotional site. The screenshots inside the front page slider are too small to be really useful and I wonder if you can get away with just one long video instead of making me click and load six videos separately.
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoThank you! At first it was a whole lot simpler, then Armando kept coming up with new things. We're already working on some nuts HTML5 stuff for the future (offline caching is one). Yeah, we'll work on the main site over time. We have a long demo video, but we felt doing separate screen-casts would be useful. Right now it's kind of the first launch step. Lots more to do. I should probably listen to more of my advice from the article I wrote earlier today.
- chaosmachine 16y agoYeah, I would kill that "black on black" shadow text ASAP, it's almost unreadable without highlighting it.
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoIt was on my list and then I got caught up with the TechCrunch interview. I basically recreated techcrunch in 30 minutes, installed padpressed,etc. for the article. It actually has the shadow applied to all the text on the site, so if I remove it there, it makes the rest work. Hence, my lazy ass needs to create another style, apply that to the featured div, and voila, no more shadow.
