https://www.canva.com/ is probably my favorite I've seen? It has very little information I admit but I like how a site made for designers has a very unique design itself. I am not a designer myself but I was impressed enough that I still remember seeing it.

I really like the mouse-following effect in the background. It's subtle enough to not be annoying, but playful. As an interaction designer, I love seeing these little hints of fun that sneak into otherwise "vanilla" projects.

I've been a senior product marketer at Heroku and Realm (AKA the person responsible for leading the creation of product landing pages), and I gotta counsel y'all: when you're looking at landing pages, what makes them great has a lot less to do with the visual design, and a lot more to do with the story and message they tell. They're fundamentally narrative media: a landing page proceeds serially from top to bottom. W…

Spot on. The highest converting landing page I have ever done was downright ugly. However, it made thousands of dollars with just a headline, a paragraph, and a buy now button.

People often confuse visually pleasing with financially pleasing.

Partially agree.

Willing to put a bet down you could 3x traffic/conversion with design improvement.

Yeah Hyperpixel is a JS heavy site it seems, not much I can do about that. But it works beautifully when you have all normal features enabled.

http://www.verynicesites.com/ OnePageLove works fine for me.

Ah, the idea behind roastmy.site seems really cool, but the comments it gained so far seem really non-constructive. I didn't see any comment actually roasting the site, only compliments and one small suggestion (to add a comma somewhere). I really hope that the idea will catch on, and that it will gain traction (and actual roasts as a result).

Hey, thanks for the feedback on Roast My Site!

It's actually my hobby project and I put it together in a couple days time. Its still in early development stages, a lot of things are missing and some are not working.

Also, since there was no official launch, there is no traffic or users to actually submit sites and/or roasts. But they are coming soon and I think its going to be fun :D

https://webflow.com/ecommerce Our landing page for our new launch!

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).

Sincerely--thanks for that feedback. Lots of different posts getting downvoted here and so little useful feedback. That's what we're here for, after all.

What mobile device and browser do you use? I'm on Safari on an iPhone 7 and it loads pretty quickly for me. We do have a CDN in front of it.

I put together a browseable set of example high-quality landing pages here, ranging from startups to larger companies: https://design.crowdbotics.com These examples were originally selected by Kesler Tanner over at the Stanford Institute of Design. They represent what's going on as of mid-2017 in landing page design. The one shift that I've seen since this collection was last updated is the migration to bolder, more…

Nice page. Tough, I would make the whole picture clickable instead of just the eye icon. And, the "x" to dismiss is hidden unless I have the browser at full screen. Firefox dev 60.0b7

Thanks! I'll get these updated.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I have a few qualms with this app: [1]

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by writing a shell script, compiling your own custom X server, and then monitoring the screen state for full-screen apps. For Windows or Mac, you just remote desktop to your Linux box with built-in software.

2. It doesn't actually reroute the notifications. Most people I know want to be able to perform presentations without the visual clutter of notifications, but they still carry a phone to check their Instagram while presenting. This does not solve their notification issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

In reality, this is a great landing page and a cool idea for an app. Also, I have nothing but respect for people who share their honest, thoughtful assessments on HN. The future is tough to predict.
