Why on earth do they shy away from saying the word "Python" anywhere? Seems pretty relevant, considering it's a Python library. It's a pretty important fact for potential users, and one they would probably want to know sooner rather than later.
Personally, any sense of excitement and discovery I had upon visiting the front page was killed pretty flat when I spent a couple of minutes skimming the front page for what it's a library for, visiting 'About' and 'Docs', returning to the front page for a closer look, and finally figuring it out by taking a look at the sample source and noticing the reference to Cython.
The Github readme is much denser, and I think a lot of people would prefer this intro:
> Kivy is a Python library for development of multi-touch enabled media rich applications. The aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and rapid prototyping, while making your code reusable and deployable.
> Kivy is written in Python, based on OpenGL and supports different input devices such as: Mouse, Dual Mouse, TUIO, WiiMote, WM_TOUCH, HIDtouch, Apple's products and so on.
