Thanks for the tip. I'll fix that tomorrow.

Thanks for checking it out! Those are some good suggestions. I'll probably add them in when I have the time.

I'm using a free ssl cert from https://www.startssl.com/. I think one of the caveats of it being free is that it's not supported by everything? I'm not sure though. It works for Chrome on Desktop it seems.

I just didn't want to spend money on an SSL cert for a project that's not intended to make a profit. Sorry for the trouble anyway.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I would have never expected someone to find the repo on their own like that.

I've considered posting on reddit, but most subreddits (including that one) have rules against "self promotion", which they might think I'm doing.

So maybe try it out for yourself sometime and share it if you like it! :)

Hey there! I added a little more info. You can just sign up with a random username and password though. The site doesn't ask for an email or anything.

It's not really intended as a proper product, just something I've been working on for my own use that I've decided to open up to others.

Hello! Thanks for checking it out.

The reason the landing page sucks is because Ballistic wasn't really intended to be a product. I created it mainly for two reasons:

1. I made a simpler version of the app before to learn node and found myself using it often. I wanted a version with more features and so I created Ballistic.

2. I wanted to use it as a portfolio item I could reference when applying to jobs which require Node/Angular.

I still think you're right though, so I quickly updated the landing page. Hopefully it's a little more clear now.
