  Sorry to just be offering high-level first-impression criticism, but I'm having a tough time following the main visual/slides on https://www.swipe.to/. I kept trying to read each slide, or to figure out what the ordering was supposed to be, or to figure out which slide was first, but they just keep changing really fast, and the transitions from one slide to the next is often jarring / completely changing the view.

  Perhaps it might be easier to digest and understand if there was an indicator to show where the slides started/ended, and/or longer pauses between each slide? Or perhaps to have more obvious transitions between slides? Or maybe to slim down what's depicted in the main slide deck there to demonstrate a narrower slice of the product? (it seems like maybe you're trying to show a little bit of everything there)

  The slide deck lower down on the page is easier to follow, for example, because I can follow what the user interactions are that are leading from each slide to the next.
