Some feedback on your website.
It's bad. Sorry to be blunt.
I don't even know where to begin.
Links are only identifyable by being underlined. But then you have underlined text on the front page which isn't a link.
All links point to the author. subdomain, from where there is no way back!
Except for one link that opens my e-mail program without any hint that it'll do that.
Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail.
Most of the links leave you guessing what happens when you click them โ€“ which in this day and age means, they'll remain unclicked.
The color choice is ... interesting.

The entire site is actually illegal in very many countries outside of the US, cause it advertises a service but includes absolutely no info about what company or organisation I actually send my data to when I sign up. For the same reason, you are currently violating the GDPR cause you don't blacklist visits from within the EU. Yes, that law applies even if you're in the US.

And after clicking every link, I still have no idea what your software even is.

Hi, theres a lot to take into account here. Thank you for your feedback- I will try to address all of this.

Can you give me a location of where this happened? :"Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail."
