   Good job on releasing something into world, that's never easy. That being said, I really find the landing page off-putting, with all the regular signs of having been vibe coded. It's just a red flag. The actual editor is actually decent, even if the design is super generic and also seems like it was "enhanced" with Claude code.

      Fair feedback and looks like a lot of folks agree. I've removed some content that felt off. What else gives you the vibe coded vibes? I actually spent some time polishing animations and other things to feel like a nice page lol

         Claude-isms like this is not what humans write and it makes my spidey sense tingle unnervingly:

         > Plain Markdown on your own disk, nothing to sign in to, and the whole dialect when you want it — five things worth knowing first, each argued in detail further down

         Just to break it down:

         "Plain Markdown on your own disk": What an odd way of saying it stores Markdown files on your computer. In this day and age, "Stores all your data locally" is an easy way say this.

         "...nothing to sign in to": Reads so awkwardly, I think, because it declares that something that doesn't exist is a good thing. It's like advertising home delivery with "no store to go to". I would put "no account needed" or "no sign-up required".

         "...and the whole dialect when you want it": The "when you want it" is so weird here. Why not say it supports all of Markdown?

         "...five things worth knowing first, each argued in detail further down": There is something uniquely strange about this phrasing. Why not just say: "Here's five things you should know"? Or just drop it. It doesn't add anything.

         Claude is terrible at writing copy. GPT is a bit better. At the moment, Gemini is the best one, I find.
