Our product (https://www.siasto.com) is a project management tool. It competes with Basecamp, and focuses on integrations with other web apps.
We recently revamped our homepage + added an intro tutorial, so it'd be great to get feedback from you guys. What do you think of the signup process? What about the product, UI, and features? Do they make sense? Did you run into any bugs? etc
Thanks!

Also your call-to-action button ("Try it free") and the text above it need to be on the right, not the left. On the left you should have a screenshot of your service or a video.
Actual product wise, I like the look. Love the yellow, like the header. Unique and different yet predictable and usable. There's something odd about having breadcrumbs up there on the right and the tab bubbles centered but I'm going to give it a chance to grow on me.
I really like the guided tour. The first tutorial though, "We created a team for you", "Yeah", "Go ahead and rename it" should all be in one speech bubble instead of 3. And I suggest avoid casual lanuage like that. I've seen other startups do it and it just looks really awkward and forced. One startup had a "People kind of like us" header with testimonials underneath. "kind of" like you? I just don't think language like that belongs on something as massively used as a tutorial or landing page.
On the project task page I really think you should switch the placement of the "New Task" button and the search box. Search boxes are always expected to be on the right and I feel the new task button naturally should be the first thing you see. The average user without a doubt will create new tasks MUCH more often than searching through tasks. So naturally new task should be seen first. All the "add new ____" buttons and associated buttons should be on the left I think. That's usually the default place where they are.
Lastly when I uploaded a picture of myself, my picture wasn't completely square and it ended up being re-sized incorrectly and now looks squished. It should be center cropped.
When I hover over different date boxes on the calendar my mouse arrow should turn into a hand and that date box should subtly highlight.
Amazing job though. I really like the simplicity. I wouldn't pay $25/month but it is a very nice service that's easy to understand.
