Free 5 minute grumpy feedback on the landing page :)
Requires Javascript to display anything for no good reason.
After enabling it and reloading it takes more than 10 seconds to anything but the loading icon to appear. When I quickly scroll down to see what's there, there is nothing, then it fades in. Screenshots are tiny. When I click them they jump into my face. FAQ is hard to impossible to read with the color combination and font and centering. On the whole page I have no idea what is a link and what is not. FAQ items take me back to the top when I click them. Requiring a mail address for downloading (free?!) software is a no-no for me. The buttons at the bottom (fb, twitter etc) have no anchors set so if I hover them, I have no idea what clicking will do. I would not want them to open my mail client or something. No idea what the rightmost icon even means.

You waste a lot of vertical space, I would suggest putting elements of the top-most part of the side closer together and maybe strip some text like this: http://i.imgur.com/9MjNLvy.png
That way the full screenshot has a better chance to appear on the page.
Writing:
Don't use slashes when you can use a word instead. "No-one can see / access your todos." could be "No-one can see or access your todos.". You are using "to-do" elsewhere which I prefer. I would recommend also using "To-Dos" in that header.
You say "I am sure you will love the design.". I would not use "I" in that page unless you introduce yourself first.
Also spotted "Yes its free." -> "Yes, it's free."!

The praise is hidden here!
The product itself looks slick and useful. Personally I am not a fan of flat design but you seem to have pulled it off nicely. Self-hosted tools are the best, thanks for doing that! I really really really suggest you make the landing page less annoying though. :P
Yeah I found that loading indicator bizarre. What am I waiting for? Is it circumventing the browser's rendering engine and doing it all in canvas or something? (I mean, I know it's not, that would be silly. It's more likely having to make multiple network requests to fetch the rest of the content.)
I can understand the other javascript-ey bits as forgoing some amount of UX/usability in exchange for flashier visuals. But the loading indicator on initial page load just doesn't make sense to me.
The intent of the license (no derivatives) seems very different from AGPL (strong copyleft).
Please don't recommend AGPL uncritically. Not everyone cares to think through the implications (yes, I have had that discussion with someone who told me was fine about me using his AGPL licensed program in a clearly non-AGPL compliant way because it was just GPL3 but for the web. I Had to find another solution.)
I agree with the JS critique. I actually thought something was wrong when it didn't load. I'm not sure the loading time is worth it for those pop-in effects as they aren't really necessary. Also I'm 28 with pretty good vision but I'm having a hard time with that lime green on white.
