I took a look at the public pages. I have to admit I'm snorting a bit at the whole "revolution" speak. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it makes me less eager to make an account.
Their big shtick, from what I can tell, appears to be a specialized format for patterns to make them easier to use across devices, etc. This isn't a draw for me; if it was, I'd already be using Knit Companion and I'm wondering what their software/pattern format does that knit companion doesn't. Personally, I prefer working from paper. I have used patterns off my tablet but they are usually short/easy patterns.
One of the reasons I like paper patterns is that I listen to music while crafting and keep track of what u listen to by jotting it down on the back of my pattern. This gives me a record of how much time I've spent on a project. I like data like that - it comes from being a former math/comp sci major.
Note that I'm still a relatively happy Ravelry user. While I was disappointed with how Ravelry handled the site redesign rollout, I can use the new site in Herdwick mode comfortably, so I'm not looking for another crafting site at this time.
