Feedback: - Consider a contrasting color for some of the elements. You have a pretty monochromatic palette and it unintentionally reads as "plain". - Chunking. I think you can cut down that home page a ton, and get to the point clearer. It will feel more "marketing fluff" but fight that urge. It's not to make it fluffy, it's to simplify the things to parse. For example, if you remove: "You're looking at a very simple but powerful tool that will help you: Develop a daily writing habit. Massively increase your writing output. Master the art of writing in a fun and engaging way! If that sounds interesting - read on to learn how it works." and start with your second paragraph, It's so much stronger: " Write every day, skyrocket your productivity There are three ways to increase your writing productivity: Write more consistently. Write more words. Write faster. Let's see how this app will help you to improve each of these metrics.

Thank you for your advice! I definitely should get better at writing a copy. I'll try to trim it down, make it stronger and clearer. I'm thinking I will add a bright theme, some people may prefer it and it will have stronger contrast.

  Make friends with a copy editor - or hire one if you can afford it. My partner is one, and she went through a project of mine the other week. So much got cut, and initially I was a bit offended. I didn't think it read like "me" any more. Then I read it again a few days later and, holy moly, I realised how much better it was for it.

    This is such great feedback. Relevant to this product/project, one of the hardest things to learn is "how to write" in the sense of actually getting the words out on the page. Once that becomes habit, the real challenge is learning how to edit. That hack and slash is really hard, but it makes for really powerful pieces.
