This has to be among the least informative landing pages I've seen yet. Vague marketing woo, giant hero images, scroll hijacking, sound effects, and zero screenshots.

They literally have a sliding section taking up significant scroll height that's dedicated to our solar system, and when I clicked one of the planets, expecting it to maybe reveal a usage example—I did actually get a full spiel about Mars, still with no hint of the product.

"We wanna get data, even outside the app to better understand you," [...] "What are the things you’re buying, which hotels are you going [to], which restaurants are you going to, what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you."

Good luck with that. Chrome on steroids.
