Cool idea, which I've wanted to exist (so I'm glad it does). I have two suggestions for improving the site:
1) The huge list of software in the ecosystem is overwhelming. Bury it. The choice of picking the two alternative ways of running it at the top is fine, but that's all the front page should have to say about software.
2) Critically, on the front page you need a quick demo or diagram showing how you get data into it. As a potential user, I really don't care about the open ecosystem or joining a community (this is good content for a "Developers" tab) - instead I want to know how much effort it's going to take me to capture the images and turn them into a cool map. What software does the drone need to run? Can you push video into ODM and get a map out, or do I need to preprocess those images? How far can I go with it, and how are those results achieved? Do I need to be a developer or can I be a semi-technical drone operator? FPV drones ok, or just DJI? Etc etc.
