The blog post is hyper focused on the wings and didn't make a lot of sense without context. This link[1] was extremely useful to better understand what Boom is doing and how far along they are.

- everyone 7y agoomg that website is freakin' terrible!
- mrcartmenez 7y agoLike they tried to rip off the old Mac-Pro site but fluffed it slightly
- xiphias2 7y agoWikipedia is here to the rescue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_XB-1_Baby_Boom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_XB-1_Baby_Boom
- aetherspawn 7y agoI thought the website was really cool. But the first image really sucked. The other 30 images and animated constructs were super cool, but the entire experience was wrecked by the first image that you see, which looked like a jpg of a plane drawn in ms paint.
- xiphias2 7y agoProbably you're not looking at it from a laptop with touchpad...it's really hard to scroll, also it's really hard to use the keyboard. I can imagine that with a tablet/mobile phone it's a nice experience.
- aetherspawn 7y agoI was scrolling on a laptop with a mouse which worked really well.
- dreamcompiler 7y agoDesigned to impress rather than to inform. For an engineer looking at the site (me) it does neither.
- MasterScrat 7y agoYeah that's like companies who send you a newsletter detailing new features, when you have 0 memories of who they are and what they do. Take-away: add a one line summary of who you are and what you do at the top of any such communication.
- stedaniels 7y agoNothing says Unsubscribe like a newsletter from a company I don't know about a product I've no idea what it does.
