## Category scores

| Category | Score |
|---|---:|
| Value props | 22 |
| Trust | 38 |
| CTA | 42 |
| Information hierarchy | 44 |
| Mobile web | 54 |

## Score over time

The report lists two Zenbu reports:

1. **Sep 20, 2026 — 40:** Overall −24; Value props −40; Information hierarchy −28. This is the live report.
2. [May 11, 2026 — 64](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/history/2026-05-11): First tracked report; strongest category was Mobile web at 76, and weakest was Trust at 44.

## Value props — 22, Poor

The report asks whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value. Zenbu’s headline is identified as vague: **“ZENBU LABS.”**

### Working

- The minimal page focuses attention on two projects.
- Project names hint at terminal-native tools.
- Direct contact links build indie credibility.

### Could improve

- No sentence says what Zenbu does.
- Project links lack descriptions.
- There are zero numbers, outcomes, or proof.

| Rank | Site | Value props score |
|---:|---|---:|
| 1 | Aider | 78 |
| 2 | OpenCode | 76 |
| 3 | Browsh | 72 |
| 4 | Carbonyl | 56 |
| 5 | Zenbu | 22 |

## Trust — 38, Poor

This category evaluates proof that a product is real, competent, and safe to try.

The trust comparison records these signals:

| Site | Trust read |
|---|---|
| Zenbu | Contact row with “rob@zenbu.dev”, Discord, and “@zenbu_labs” links |
| Browsh | Real terminal screenshots of Browsh rendering Wikipedia (text-based browser demo) |
| Carbonyl | Code editor screenshot with tabs “game.ts”, “characters.module.css”, “bonus-level.ts” |
| Aider | Stat badges: “GITHUB STARS 44K”, “INSTALLS 6.8M”, “TOKENS/WEEK 15B” |
| OpenCode | Real terminal demo showing the agent completing the task “add a new field for signups that validates that they are 18 ye” |

| Rank | Site | Trust score |
|---:|---|---:|
| 1 | Aider | 76 |
| 2 | OpenCode | 64 |
| 3 | Browsh | 54 |
| 4 | Carbonyl | 50 |
| 5 | Zenbu | 38 |

## CTA — 42, Poor

This category evaluates CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel. The report records these examples in the comparison: Zenbu’s **“terminal-browser”**, Aider’s **“Get Started”**, Carbonyl’s **“Sign up for GitHub”**, OpenCode’s **“Download”**, and Browsh’s **“Downloads.”**

### Problems

- No button or in-product action.
- The link is a label rather than an action verb.
- No payoff or value promise.
- The text has footnote-weight underlining.

| Rank | Site | CTA score |
|---:|---|---:|
| 1 | Aider | 74 |
| 2 | Carbonyl | 72 |
| 3 | OpenCode | 72 |
| 4 | Browsh | 44 |
| 5 | Zenbu | 42 |

## Information hierarchy — 44, Poor

This category evaluates whether the design helps or inhibits what the page is trying to say.

1. **Value prop line:** The line under “ZENBU LABS” renders as a few faint dots, leaving the fold with no readable statement of what Zenbu is or does.
2. **Project links list:** “terminal-browser” and “terminal-code” have identical visual weight and no context, so neither candidate action explains itself.
3. **Contact link row:** Email, Discord, and X links have the same visual weight as the work links, adding three exit paths that dilute the only actions on the page.

[View layout plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=zenbu.dev#opt-information-hierarchy) to turn these callouts into a sequenced page plan.

## Mobile web — 54, Fair

This category evaluates the phone experience as a first-class experience.

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/zenbu.dev-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T21%3A50%3A47.502%2B00%3A00)

1. **Underlined text links:** The only actions are small underlined text links rather than thumb-friendly buttons; no primary CTA exists.
2. **Broken glyph artifact:** A stray dot-glyph renders under the wordmark where a value statement should be, reading as a rendering bug.
3. **ZENBU LABS wordmark:** The fold’s only message is the name; nothing states what Zenbu makes or why someone should tap a project.
