A comment on Socialhome HQ.

There's a lot of content on the landing page that all vies for my attention, but none of it really explains what it is I'm looking at or what I'm supposed to do with it.

Also, I think each rectangle is meant to be a separate entry, separated by date, but it's impossible to tell.

My first thought was "what am I looking at?"

I found this after a little bit of scrolling. It was not obvious at first, but this is a self-hosted personal social CMS of some kind......

> Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols.

On top of that, after about 10 seconds of looking at the page, images popped in and moved things... And then after scrolling that happened again, but I'm pretty sure things moved into different columns, making it even worse.

I think it's just the slow load time, maybe being hugged to death.

It could use some design and usability attention, yes.
