Is their main website still that confusing?

Why do so many website fail at explaining what they represent. I didn't really get what this was because it focused on its technology, not what it was aiming to achieve.
I installed it anyway, as I'm looking into synced Notes apps and that's what it seemed to do and this thing is looking pretty powerful actually. It might replace more than just Notes.
I was one of the first people to try out their alpha but quickly switched over to Rnote as I heavily rely on handwriting and sketching for enriching my notes. For organizing my life I have settled with Emacs and org-mode and for writing papers and collaborating on texts I use Typst. I never really understood the point of using Notion very much and the lack of handwriting support really turned me of. At least it looks very clean.
Looks good so far, but two major features I want from a note taking app are still missing: Handwriting and table calculations. If they can add good support for those then I'll definitely switch!
I find their website lacking important information for general user. I really don't think software like this can succeed on a massive scale without proper PR. See what Notion is doing. Plain, simple words. That's why they're so popular.
