Time to say good bye to localhost?

I'm hitting the up arrow and nothing is happening? Chrome on Win7.

EDIT: reloaded and it worked. Didn't see the e-mail sign up before, it was just sliver of the top of the slideshow.

I didn't even see the tiny up arrow. I tried scrolling with the mouse wheel and it didn't work, so my immediate reaction is "oh, goody another mystery meat web 2.0 navigation paradigm".

Not a good start to show me your great product when you hide it below the fold and make it difficult to navigate.

It's pretty, but it's too clever. Just show the slideshow carousel. Why hide it?

Also the copy is awkward:

"We're a few developers who think there is a better way to work." => "There's a better way to work." Of course you're a few developers, that's who develops things. Save the first person for the "About Us".

EDIT: and "Isn't it time to say goodbye to localhost?" => "Say goodbye to localhost." Nevermind that the pitch doesn't immediately make sense, it should at least be direct.
