Petal — landing page micro-audit

Format of the $19 BTC micro-audit: 3 prioritized fixes, before → after, plus 1 metric to watch.

What the page says today

“Open Source Pair Programming”

“Low latency, high resolution screensharing and remote control.”

“from the makers of CoScreen”

Fix 1 (highest impact) — Hero: lead with the experience

Before: “Open Source Pair Programming” names a category.

After:

“Share your screen and control each other's — low latency, free, open source.”

Fix 2 — CTA: one download

Before: “Download for Mac”, “Download for Windows”, “Open on Github”, “Download” all compete.

After:

OS-detected primary download; GitHub as secondary text link.

Fix 3 — Offer: use the CoScreen pedigree

Before: “from the makers of CoScreen” is only in the description.

After:

Put it as a hero badge: “From the makers of CoScreen”.

Metric hypothesis

If Fix 1 + 2 ship, watch download clicks per visitor. for 2 weeks against the current page; hypothesis only, no data from Petal.
