In case this helps, you might want to A/B test your homepage with and without coffins, watch the bounce rate. I bounced, the feelings created by my amygdala were too strong and overruled my curiosity or any desire to learn!

If startuplister.com was strategically placed where it was then it worked. They now have my $89 for https://www.chessable.com :) Hope it's worth it!

Having been based in various co working spaces where many startups work from I can definitely say most work regular work weeks! As the other reply says, usually you find people doing longer hours in a few selected periods of a startups life
