Agreed, that one sentence line is perfect and not fully clear on the website. A lot of these cloud services keep it quite vague for some reason, which I somewhat understand for the whole 'CTO marketing'. But the early adopters will appreciate it and they are who matter the most early on.

I wish more marketing sites just had a description like the one in the root comment, usually I have to read a bunch of docs before I get a grasp on what a product does when they introduce them on HN, if I could just read a description like this I could either look at more info or ignore it if I don't care about it.

Instead, I'm trying to make sense of APIs to figure out what a product called Floozbobble.io does and it turns out that it's SaaS for making SaaS product factory factories, and I don't care about that, but then some other product called Dizmeple.cloud comes out that makes it easier for me to manage my database deployments, which I do care about, and I can't tell I would want it because it has no fucking description!

When did we start to prefer these crap marketing sites that take 12,000 spins on my scroll wheel to get through and still don't tell you anything?

when companies decided it was too hard to run data driven marketing programs?
