I'll tell you what a total stranger thinks your product does in the first 5 seconds (free, drop your url)

You've stared at your own landing page so many times you literally can't see it anymore. I get that. So here's an offer: drop your homepage url below and I'll give you the cold, first-impression read, as if I just landed there from a random link and know nothing about you.

I've done a bunch of these now and people keep saying it's weirdly useful, mostly because it's stuff you can't get from your own head or from friends who already know what you built. What you get back: what I think your product actually does after 5 seconds (which is often not what you think it says), the exact spot where a normal person would go "eh" and close the tab, and the one line above the fold I'd rewrite first.

No fluff, I'll be honest but not a jerk about it. Just paste the link and I'll reply when I get to it. If your homepage is a mess I'll say so, but I'll also tell you what's actually working so you don't gut the good parts.
