Yes, of course we have our reasons. One of the most important are: - We didn't like internal storage implementation, we believe that we can do better. Very self-confident, I know, but I still think so after almost a year of development

Current design was build by developers, not designers and will be renewed once the professional design is ready. We put all our efforts on backend and storage subsystem development and completely forgot about our temporary public website. S

Backend is much better, but the public site must be redesigned, it is awful, I agree.
