A few issues: 1) The small icon bar below the tagline frustrated me because clicking on the icons just tells me that the feature will be active when the app launches. I would recommend not displaying a feature that you aren't ready to demo. 2) The arrow keys do not work. I'm using the latest version of Safari on Mac. Clicking the arrow icons manually does work however. Also, consider making the image carousel seamless, rather than ending abruptly. I clicked the right icon several times, wondering why it didn't continue scrolling right before I realized I was at the end. A seamless carousel usually makes for a slightly better user experience. 3) The footer text would look better if it was white text on the darker background of the notification sign up form. Currently it makes the page look broken because there is gray below the form. 4) I would consider putting a border below the tagline, like the border above it. Just an aesthetic preference on my part, so feel free to ignore me. Also, I wonder about your definition of "shipped". Compversions doesn't look ready to use yet. Anyway, keep up the good work.

1) I went back and forth on that one. The idea behind that, is that it gives a slight tease into how the functionality will be in the full app. As in, you will be able to click the 3-squares, and it changes the view (see the screenshot with 3 images side by side), and the same will happen with the 4-view. I had thought about leaving it out, but figured I would leave it in for some amount of intrigue. Sounds like in your case that turned to frustration though, which was not was intended. 2) I think I should probably reword the copy. The arrow keys don't work yet. In the final version they will though. Clicking the arrow icons are the only thing that works. In terms of the ends, the arrow icons should fade when there are no more images on that side. Perhaps I should make it fade more, to be more obvious that the button has been disabled. 3) Valid point. It is a shade of light-grey, but maybe it will look better as white. In terms of the shipping, I was hesitating even putting out the 'coming soon' page. Essentially it is just a coming soon page, with a bit of information which acts like a teaser. I decided to give in and just release the coming soon page, because I want to get feedback. Hence, the 'I Shipped' :) The feedback has been awesome. Thanks for taking the time :)
