I feel like pages of stock photos is showing some blatant disregard for a guest's time.

  A map in a book: no algorithms
  A book and some fruit: no advertising
  A book and some yarn: non-profit
Even more than stock photos, maybe they should be somewhat, at all, related to anything. Yikes.

You could say that the map symbolises charting your own path rather than following that of an algorithm.

And that a fruit symbolises growing a community organically rather than forcing it with ads.

And that some yarn symbolises spinning something worthwhile rather than creating a non-sustainable beast to flog for profit.

That's just the teaser. Please visit hellolyra.com for the real thing.

Honestly the interface is rather off-putting at first glance. There's too much text and nothing that grabs my attention. A smoother onboarding process and a better overview of features would improve the UX.
