Yeah, as somebody who loves using Syncthing, I would be very hard pressed to know what it is by looking at the front page.
I cancelled my YouTube Premium, and started seeing ads on YouTube for Android; and one of the first few was an ad for some app called Killi or something. It jumps straight to how to find it on the app store and google play, and then explains how to set it up, all the while you're wondering what on earth it is.
- fencepost 8y agoI feel like I missed my best opportunity (pre-social media) to combat this. IIRC, Nexium (antacid of some sort) when it was first introduced had ads everywhere full of people talking about the "Little purple pill" and how much it had changed their lives. There was nothing in the ads that indicated anything about what it did, just "ask your doctor if Nexium is right for you." Had I been a bit more connected at the time I think a real push to start talking about "The purple pill that cured my X" would have been amusing, with X being something like uncontrollable flatulence, incontinence, explosive diarrhea, etc. Unfortunately, that was back in the days when social media was LiveJournal and Usenet was already well on its way into decline.
