The UI seems very thoughtful, it's clearly a high-quality effort! I'm pleasantly surprised by how intuitive it appears at first glance. It's one of a vanishingly few examples of a "modern"-looking UI with high information density and minimal whitespace.

Your team also picked the right hero image for the homepage, and I love that it opens up into a YouTube video. It did take me awhile to realize that it opens into a video though - the bright purple "Play Demo Video" button was treated as spam by my brain. I believe that's because the UI in the image is very busy, so there are a lot of higher-priority details that I can focus on/explore until my internal "look elsewhere on the site" timer expires and I scroll off the hero image.

It feels like this does deserve more attention. I suspect people who aren't currently working with self-propelled robots may be skipping this as they aren't able to envision where they'd use it. I'd enjoy exploring it with something like this starter kit, though: https://foxglove.dev/blog/building-and-visualizing-your-firs...



Thanks for the feedback!

Will have a think about how to make the "Play demo video" option more obvious. Maybe an additional link under the hero image would be more likely to catch your eye.
