Thanks for your questions.
"How does that work? So you publish a proposal, people back it, you get funding for your work, then you publish on the same site? They seem like two very different services. "
Onarbor is flexibly structured. It is up to the work creators to decide what/when to post.
"How are you synergizing the crowd funding aspect with the publishing aspect?"
The crowdfunding is that anyone can back a work and that Onarbor requires at least one person to back the work within the 1st week it is published. If nobody backs the work within one week, then the work creator has the option to self-back it to keep it live on the site.
"Too much white space in the main page makes it look like you just don't have enough content."
We don't have enough content yet but are looking for submissions :). We just launched last week.
"A tour of something I vaguely understand just confuses me more."
On the homepage, we can include a "Read more" link to reveal a longer description. That is a good suggestion. We tried to do that in the slideshow with the last slide by directing people to the help page, https://onarbor.com/help https://onarbor.com/help.
"Using the iframes... appealing image".
This was a toss-up for us. We wanted to show off that all the works could be embeds on any site (like a Youtube video but with payment buttons!).
"Is there no link to browse projects".
Another good suggestion. Onarbor is divided into sites, such as https://onarbor.com/sites/biology https://onarbor.com/sites/biology, where site-specific work is displayed. We will add a link on the homepage to browse sites.
