Truly digital? I don’t know what that means
Well, they're "powered" so they must be truly digital. Or something like that.
Typewriter? What do you mean by that?
Seems pretty clear. Even if you're not 50 years old, you've seen a typewriter and know what one is. It's not 2123 yet.
Proprietary syntax highlighting? Why would I want that?
It looks like this is syntax highlighting for non-programmers. People in certain types of businesses might like syntax highlighting customized to their needs, rather than repurposing the syntax highlighting used by programmers.
Integrates with… file types?
Worse, only five file types from three companies.
Why the cartoon people?
Maybe to seem friendly? Looks like Schoolhouse Rock to me. Since it's collaborative, I guess he's trying to show people together. Better than rando Adobe Stock of generic people super excited about doing mundane things.
That said…
When I click "Expore," some kind of menu pops up, but it's mostly off the side of my very wide computer screen, so I have no idea what that's supposed to do.
The contrast ratio of the entire page is awful. It's like looking at a web site through a light drizzle.
For what's supposed to be a basic, informative landing page, there's an awful lot of outbound connections that my computer is happy to block.
Ah, later on when I click on "Explore" the pop-up wants to know what kind of computer I have. How about I have a "None of Your Business Yet." Do you support that?
...and it stopped scrolling and responding to anything.
This page should have been just bare HTML/images/CSS.
