I think you're working with an overly simplistic model if this page is accurate.

I also found it difficult to navigate to something which actually shows your product. When I realized that the Mandarin demo was your product demo, well, I've seen that approach in enough textbooks and it's nice to implement via animation. With some more polish and a broader test sample, I'd probably recommend it - as much as the "behold, science!" presentation annoys me.

But then when I went back to your home page IT WASN'T THERE ANYMORE. Please don't ever, ever use cookies to do that.

It's not my startup :) One of my friends worked with them during the prototyping phase a few years ago. I guess it's good to see the site active. Anyway, you should email the right people w/ your suggestions, I'm just an observer.

Hi there. I'm Greg, CTO of Memrise.

Feel free to ask me about the science if you'd like. It's hard to strike a balance between advertising what we think is most important and comprehensible, and sounding too mystical.

Sorry about the disappearing splash page - I know what you mean, and we'll have to think about a better way of letting people get back to that, while still making the dashboard for logged-in users primary.

Yours, Greg
