I don't see anything to play with.

Like you're getting a blank screen? If not you should be seeing some demos on the landing, and if you sign up you can create your own maps.

Here's a tweet showing the argument creation process: https://x.com/_alexshortt/status/1828478128140009845

I see an animation without explanation.

So I have no idea what I am signing up for.

Signing up might benefit you. That usually means it won't benefit me. It isn't worth the effort.

Don't use Twitter and don't ever plan to.

Not being negative. What I am saying is:

=> I was curious.

=> that got me to your page.

=> Then page design and business strategy lost me.

My advice: ask yourself, "does this delight visitors?" and "does this benefit users?"

Good luck.

Recommend using twitter, amazing things happening over there.

Yeah agree with the rest, already on the drawing board working on some communication changes. If you're curious enough i promise the actual product delivers, give it a try!

I have no idea what it delivers even though I have been to the page.

The reason I don’t use Twitter is because I find the experience unpleasant. I am ok missing out on that.

Ohhh ok i see - on some screens the landing page elements are not visible without scrolling. Try scrolling haha
