The line that's supposed to tell you what it is is: "Create and edit f​iles online​, securely​." Is that missing for you? (I admit it's smaller and less noticeable than the lines you quoted. I'll try making it more prominent.)

A bit of explanation about the name here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15596668

I was confused too... Then I realised it takes about 10 seconds to appear as you animate the text in.

Now I see it! I scrolled already waaay down before that text appears.

Reminder to myself that animations in your essential content are dangerous

Fair enough. There's a fast-forward button for the impatient among us (including myself), but I agree that it's non-obvious that you would need that to read the main copy.

If you make the user wait then the only button they'll be using is the back button.

Ditto. It takes forever to animate in the main content point.

Mm, I don't see it. There's some animation at the top, I scroll down, and... it talks about editing documents, but there's no line anywhere that explicitly states what this is.
