And it only took me 20 minutes to get to the bottom of the page. Sorry, not a fan of that design, though I'm apparently the only one.
There are a few others (including myself) who are not fans of this sparse homepage. IMHO the sparse design requiring a lot of scrolling must be the very point to be impactful.
I remember I saw a few sites where scrolling would effect some cool animation at the top, or would gradually (or suddenly) change the visual experience entirely, or would display fragments of a really really long rocket, etc.
As things are now I see the sparse intro and I go - interesting. But I also see a fragment of the stuff below it, so I'm like - this wasn't designed for my resolution. So let me scroll down. Then I see those bands alternating with code snippets, and am like, why do I need to scroll through all that crap for three clickable things of interest.
I do like the idea of a simple intro homepage with a big invite to download, but if at all it should be wholesome, not the beginning of an arduous scrolling workout.
I also like the pages with the menu on the right, they're clean and luminous. They should have collapsible menus.
