That's a nice landing page. I wonder how quickly it starts up with a slower connection, though - mine started immediately.

It's just an auto-playing video loaded behind the content. Path did the same thing with their v2

Which I haven't seen. And it would still look nice, even if I had.

From a tether, getting slightly better than dial-up speeds, I get a (>) play indicator, presumably as the video is buffering, but it starts automatically, as expected of any video, when it buffers sufficiently to play without breaks or pauses.

All in all, it started playing 4 seconds after the page loaded.
