The announcement post [0] looks nice, but maybe the landing page could use a bit more information than just the login and register fields? [0] http://blog.jrmi

  Yeah, really terrible landing page, I'm afraid. You'll have an extremely low conversion rate which will be a big waste of a Show HN. The announcement post is also hidden quite small in the footer. I would have ignored this as legal if it weren't for the parent comment. As it is, I'm not going to sign up without some clear value. Hope to see it again with an improved landing page.

  Hello! Thanks for checking it out. The reason the landing page sucks is because Ballistic wasn't really intended to be a product. I created it mainly for two reasons: 1. I made a simpler version of the app before to learn node and found myself using it often. I wanted a version with more features and so I created Ballistic. 2. I wanted to use it as a portfolio item I could reference when applying to jobs which require Node/Angular. I still think you're right though, so I quickly updated the landing page. Hopefully it's a little more clear now.

    OP changed it, there wasn't one before.
