I agree. We originally started to simply deal with GIF compression (MediaCrush was previously known as gifquick) and we have less ground to stand on with respect to spectacular compression with support for more formats. I'll reprioritize the "rewrite the spiel" task thanks to feedback from HN.
As for selecting text on the home page, not much we can do about it. We force your focus into a contenteditable div to allow you to paste images/URLs directly into the page.
Regarding the icon, it just so happens that I had the sneaking suspicion that I had seen it before when the designer presented it to me. So I ran a reverse image search and looked at about a thousand similar icons. I didn't find Miro - if I had, I probably would have asked for it to be different. In any case, I think it's different enough that I'm not worried.
