+1 for full-res screenshots. I like to see what I'm getting before having to create an account and download an app.
Here's a better full-size screenshot:

Thanks for the feedback, we'll be adding more of them, and blogging about individual features.
We actually have a Campfire importer in case you want to retain your chat history.

For someone who's not familiar with the app, I have to do a lot of decoding of your home page to figure out what exactly the product is and why I should be interested.
Your /tour "Features" page explains it much better:
"TEAM INBOX & CHAT Replace IRC, IM or Skype chat with Flowdock."
That's something I can quickly parse and immediately understand.
I also echo the sentiment that more screenshots (hopefully with call-outs/highlights) would probably help out.

Agreed, I went to click on the image of the chatroom on the homepage thinking it would zoom in on it, and instead I'm taken to a page with even fewer images.
This is a welcome change.
The previous design looked a bit rushed and the icons looked straight out of the 90s.

Great job with the new design and especially the support for 1-to-1 messages!
Thanks for the post! We've been working on this new release for a while, hoping to get lots of feedback from HN.
You should be able to put flows into categories and make subflows.
Looks like something I would consider dumping campfire for (campfire has never made me happy).
