Some feedback for you: this is dreadful on mobile. Scrolling is broken, page took like 20 seconds to render what I assume was the main content (coloured blocks with text).

#103I'm heavily biased but I think that Mozilla Firefox's landing page is pretty great. (I had nothing to do with designing it, but I do work for Mozilla.) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Thanks for working for Mozilla! Important work

Cute app but I have to share something I learned a week or so ago: you can silence all notifications if you click the Notification icon in the top right corner. Then scroll UP and turn on Do Not Disturb.
It sounds like the purpose of muzzle is to enable Do Not Disturb automatically so you don't have to remember.

#106Earlier quoted context omitted.

Actually you can Alt (Option) click that icon to enable Do Not Disturb without actually opening the notifications center :).
Mac pro tip: Option-click everything. It's remarkable how many secrets are lurking behind near every UI element.
And once you've option-clicked, also option-shift-click, command-click, control-click, etc.
An easy favourite is the Wifi menu bar item. Option-click to see all sorts of useful info about your current connection, including IP address, MAC address, connection speed (Tx Rate), the amount of noise, etc. And when you've option-clicked the menu, hovering over network names shows you the key info about that network.

IMO the examples are ridiculously unlikely. I’d very much focus on something more business-oriented and believable, like a question about a report and in an extreme case, possibly speaking about a client in a less than professional tone. “meet me in the bathroom” is not within the realm of feasibility for anyone I know.
I don't think that's the point. Many of us have ourselves or seen someone we know go up to present and have private notifications be displayed as they hustle to turn on Do not Disturb. While they aren't as extreme as this, these are funny and make the viewer recall a time when they were in this situation, and perhaps see how much better they'd be if the downloaded the app.
Re: Ask HN: Examples of great landing pages?
#108Quick question. Where do the designers / developers find assets? Or do they create them from scratch? One such 'assets' I've manage to find recently is https://mockuphone.com (no affiliation), but apart from that there isn't much besides the usual. Fontawesome, pexels and the lot.
A bit of both.
Lots of designers/devs will use existing assets to save time. They often pull materials from asset packs that other designers publish, as you mentioned (The Noun Project also comes to mind).
On the other hand, a lot of designers make it a point of pride to make their own assets from scratch. I'm certainly in the later camp, though I have friends in the former. It's nice to be able to say "I made everything on the site", but there's a definite cost in time and effort and pain.

#109Apple.com before any product launch is probably the gold standard here.

#110Look, here is my question: how is it that startups make such great websites? I try to make a website for my products, and they always look crap, even if I start with a template from themeforest, or use a single page site builder. Is it necessary to pay to get someone to design it to make something look good, or do I just have naturally really bad skills at making things look attractive and convey a clear message? Wha…
It takes a lot of practice. The beautifully-designed work that surrounds us was largely created by people who have spent years and years honing their craft. When you start off, there will be a gap between what you want to do and what you're able to do. It's important to just keep pushing through that, and especially to keep iterating. Iterate on your websites — take a moment every now and then to clean up some part of it, and after a few months or a year it'll be worlds better. Iterate on your process — find sources of inspiration, learn new techniques, try different ideas. I have seen people who were terribly unskilled, who felt like they were artless or inept or without taste or untalented, grow over the years to the point where they could make great work. It hurts a bit when you see people who are "naturally" good, but at best, that only means they had an easier go of things. It doesn't mean you can't eventually get that good too.
