In all honesty, the size requirement is terrible. I took one look at the page saying I need a bigger window and hit ctrl-w and thought: "well maybe that was a cool page, the headline sounded good. Oh well". I'm not against resizing my windows, it's just that with nothing but a headline to go on, I'll just move on to the next thing. Even if you don't show me the app, but instad a splash page and some screenshots that keep my interest, with an explanation of why I need to resize, I'll probably think, "Oh ok, and it's new, cut them some slack" and resize away.


Agreed. That screen was my first impression, which hasn't made me at all curious enough to faff about with my browser to make it display properly. Since I use OS X, I have no reason to run my browser maximised.

Also, the mere presence of such a 'feature' just makes me think that the design wasn't thought through well enough. I actually don't know, because again there's no effort made to convince me otherwise.
