Hiding information behind artificial loading times does not inspire confidence in the product. Consider which sort of person you are trying to convince and try to imagine what they would want, in this case I definitely think your audience would appreciate not waiting for "Simple. Fast. Elegant."

When the homepage of your "fast" product takes 5 seconds to load word-by-word marketing crap I just close the tab.
That actually is fast compared to jira
It pains me that you are correct.
The animation is actually 3 seconds. ;)
Understand how it could conflict with the "fast" adjective though, is anyone else put off by the animation?

The animation has been removed, thanks both for you input. :)
Alternate opinion: I kind of liked the animation, but I can understand removing it, too.
