    I understand that being a fork of Snowplow is how you define yourself, but there's actually nothing on the webpage that provides any detail of what the product does, other than "event pipeline" right up the top.

    I suggest putting at least some content on the website about what you do so that people can find you when looking for solutions in the industry, rather than having them adopt Snowplow and then splinter off later. I understand that your main focus is snowcatcloud.com which does have info putting some on opensnowcat.io will greatly enhance its discoverability.

    Especially as the splinter strategy is going to become increasingly harder as people who care about open source won't adopt Snowplow to begin with, and people who don't care won't leave it.

      Thank you! Agree! A section "What it is" and "What you can use it for" will be helpful to showcase when and why you would use it!.

    Interesting post, minor note on the homepage: The first two boxes for "Trusted by" above software.com are shown as empty for me.

    Browser is Firefox on Android, tested without adblocker

      I genuinely thought software.com was like a lorem ipsum placeholder (particularly in the context of the other two being blank). Went to the site ... it feels even more like a fake company. There is so much here but it all feels like an empty shell?

        Hahaha no software.com is a real company, and they do use opensnowcat!

    It's not immediately apparent from your website what opensnowcat actually does.
