This is really cool.

But. (Is there always a but?) it's very unapproachable. It has no welcome mat.

"Let's dive in" is normally an appreciated attitude, but here it makes it sound like we are coming in in the middle, and have missed the introduction. So, what is this thing? The page doesn't really say. There's an about page, but most people are too lazy to click. They want to see the value explained immediately, clearly, succinctly, on the landing page... or they're gone.

If they do click the About page, the writing is stilted, formal. But they don't, in most cases, I suspect.

When there are clickable images, it's not clear they are clickable. The text indicates you should click, but there are these huge arrows right there, and the obvious interpretation of the text is that you're supposed to click the arrows to see the image do its animation. Nope.

CPU is very jargonish as well. A better title would be something like "how computers work."

Still, nice design, beautifully made, good chunking of stuff into bite-sized pieces.
