long landing pages are a sign of AI psychosis

you only need 2 sections. an above the fold area and something below the fold. simple.

thanks for making this. “its private” is not a selling point, whats other differentiators does it have? really the AI analysis and potential agentic aspect right?

you could point out that it doesnt use data centers or harm the environment without explaining how or what that means upfront

All fair points, will simplify the page.

Please don’t. This is really a matter of personal preferences. I like long informative landing pages that as I scroll, give me more and more reasons to try the software.

Compare the omp landing page a few months ago versus now: https://web.archive.org/web/20260624030333/https://omp.sh/ versus https://web.archive.org/web/20261007154534/https://omp.sh/ The former does a compelling job telling me why I should try it by listing its advantages. By the time I got to hashline I became convinced. The latter landing page has a single sentence that’s generic and vague. I would not have tried omp at all if its landing page looked like what it is today.

fair, will likely tweak the top but keep some details.

A/B tests solve this. data driven results from multiple flows delivered to subsets of users

the layouts with the most aligned engagement wins rollout to all users

coding isnt the hard part of a product launch
