It's nicely done and attractive.
I've never heard of a Journey Line, and there's nothing on your front page above the fold that tells me what a Journey Line is. When I come across a site and I don't immediately know what it is and what it does for me (in macro terms) I move on.
You could add "A JourneyLine is ..." to that big empty black space at the top left. Just a sentence, to make people interested and curious.
There's plenty of room to make your graphic bigger. I can't read the axis labels. You could also put data and images on the points of your graph.

"... there are few better way so to represent an experience ..."
I could be wrong, but I think that's incorrect grammar. Possibly "there are few better ways to represent an experience" is better while still using your sentence structure.
In that same sentence, "it's" (means "it is") should be replaced with "its", the possessive form of it.
There are two periods at the end of "Create and refine ... or customers.."
"A persons life" should be "A person's life".
"as a father, leader." would read better as "as a father or leader."
There are two adjacent a's in "the joy of a a great success."
Actually I might recast that paragraph like so:
JourneyLines can represent just about anything: a persons life; their experience as a father or leader; the growth of a team, product or organization; the challenges of recovery; the joy of a great success.
"under the edit line section", capitalize like so: "under the Edit Line section".
"you will be given an unique URL" should be "you will be given a unique URL".
I got confused by the placement of the Signup button on the /users/sign_in page. You might visually separate it from the Sign In and Forgot buttons.
I created a new line, and as I added points the page still tells me "You have not added any points." Under the left column labeld Points.
When you edit a point there isn't enough visual distinction between the point above, the edit controls for the point being edited, and the point below.
I'd like to see text and image for a point on the graph itself. That would make it more compelling to hover over a point for more detail, rather than having to hover over a point to see if there's anything interesting there. You have an entire journey spread out in front of you, with nothing but dots to note each point. I'd like to see actual highlights of the journey at a glance.
Also it wasn't obvious to me that anything happened after I uploaded an image, there was no visible change or other indication that I had actually done something. It took me a few tries to realize that you don't see the uploaded images unless you hover over a point.
In the Point column, after you've added a few points, every text line and Edit Point button is separated by the same amount of space, so it's hard to tell at a glance whether a button is associated with the line above or the line below; you have to look at the top or bottom of the column to see how they associate. Pull each Edit Point button in closer to its associated line above it.
There's a button at the bottom of the line graph, with the line's title in it. When You click it the line goes invisible in the graph. What's that for?
I've made my line, and made it public: http://www.journeyline.com/public/my-new-one http://www.journeyline.com/public/my-new-one. I can imagine there will be many people who will choose the same name for their lines, yet you only allow one user per public line name. Some people are going to have multiple lines with similar names, and they won't be able to share them all based on this scheme.
A) Do you know (tested) what will happen if two accounts choose the same name for their lines and make them public? I'm curious.
B) You should somehow multiple shared lines with the same names across users. Maybe add something to the public URLs, like a random alpha-num code, or the user's ID.
The url you give out to share a line, for example http://www.journeyline.com/public/my-new-one http://www.journeyline.com/public/my-new-one, is not the same url that's shown in the address bar once you get there. This is after I've signed out. Why not just give out the arbitrarily numbered URL as the public URL, and then you don't have conflicts between people with the same line names.
By the way, I made two lines with the same title, which were happily accepted until I tried to share the second one. Using the numbered URL would solve that too, since it actually is already solved internally.
I don't know where to go once I've decided that my line is done. Can I make a new line? There should be a button for that on this page. OK, I guessed right, you have to click the Home link.
When you make a line public by checking the box, you don't see the public URL until you click Update Line and then click Edit Line again. Would be better to show the URL immediately when you check the box (and delete the URL if you uncheck it).
Nice job. For people who like this sort of thing, this is exactly the sort of thing they'll like.
