Personally I didn't like your main text introduction:
"Don't waste hours, days or weeks researching server-side JavaScript, cloud providers and NoSQL, and then compiling, configuring and deploying the systems from scratch. Get a preconfigured virtual server with a running sample application powered by Express.JS."
Primarily the first sentence was a huge turn-off for me. Researching your technology and understanding it is never a waste of time. And Server-Side JavaScript is not some magic bullet where you need to know nothing but can write amazing applications. It is a tricky environment with some great power and massive 'gotchas'.
Personally I think you should either remove reference to research or fully embrace the word. A sales point could be more along the lines of: "Popular server-side JavaScript frameworks already connected and configured to allow you to jump directly into a working example. Great for bootstrapping your research project or spinning up servers for your already written application!" But, I have no silver-tongue so take my wording advice with caution. ;)
- Gigablah 15y agoI suppose another way to put it is that there are too many negative and "hostile" words ("waste", "don't", "no", etc). Your suggestion manages to avoid all of those.
- ilaksh 15y agoWow I really appreciate that! Do you want a link somewhere crediting you with writing that copy?
- meta 15y agoheh, no, that is fine. It cost me nothing and I am passing the savings onto you. ;)
