I think the biggest barrier to entry is that the front page doesn't tell you anything about the product. I can't even tell what the product IS. Is it a website?

I think the biggest barrier to entry is that the front page doesn't tell you anything about the product. I can't even tell what the product IS. Is it a website? A desktop app? A smartphone app? A Facebook app? What does it do? How does it work? What does it look like? Where are the answers to these questions?
- theli0nheart 17y agoYou make some great points. Here's a shot: Gradifi is a web application that recommends courses to students based on courses that they've already taken. In addition, students can share notes with one another and can sell them to people who they don't know. Books that you list are advertised for free alongside course descriptions on the website. I'm afraid of putting too much text on the front page and perhaps scaring people away. Maybe that's an unfounded fear. Maybe screenshots may be helpful as well?
- DanielStraight 17y agoI understand you don't want to scare people away, but why would anyone sign up for a service if they didn't know what it was? Screenshots would definitely be helpful. Consider a screencast too. Also, why not show publicly shared content? At least give some indication of what's inside if you sign up.
