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 per…

> 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?

Does everything have to be a moneymaker? Like you said, this would be trivial to setup yourself. It's a nice piece of software that provides some advertising for his other products.

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…

All I see is an orange screen and “Crowdbotics”…

It's one of those silly damned things that could and should be a static page but is served as JS instructions for building it in the browser instead.

https://muzzleapp.com/ Does a great job of demonstrating the value of the product.

So I get that you can Option + Click on the Notifications icon in the upper right to turn on Do Not Disturb... but I love that this does it automatically for you.

And it's free. No brainer. Yes, this app is great.

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…

What are your thoughts about showing pricing on the landing page?

Be upfront with your price.

Price is a data point a customer needs to make the decision.

Give them all data points you can.

It's not that simple. Some businesses would lose a fortune if they started pricing this way.

Particularly if you sell to enterprises. Many companies will make more money by sizing them up and giving them an optimal custom price.

That's a nice project. I'll have to take a deeper look into it. Is there a central place where these types of projects pop up?

Most of the things I'm aware of just came up on HN, reddit, twitter, or in podcasts. The best approach I've found is just to follow popular designers (on twitter, podcasts, etc). When they talk about something cool, dig in and learn who made it, and follow that person to see what cool things they talk about. Repeat. Maybe start with @brad_frost and @vlh.

Added. Thanks.

Quick 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.

dribbble.com and behance.net. That's more idea generation than asset generation but you can then mashup the ideas to generate your own assets

Could you provide some concrete examples? I see you work at a marketing agency in SF. That probably means you could have some good ones to share. Like a/b comparisons of pages that saw such improvements. Not sarcasm or passive agreesivesness. I'm genuinely interested in the data from someone in an agency.

No aggression perceived. The best client example is Groove ( https://www.groovehq.com/ ). In 2014 they hired us to take the existing site ( https://web.archive.org/web/20141223145657/https://www.groov... ) and make it attractive to serious customers who can "trust" their company based on the site. Went from 1M ARR to 5M in 18 months. A more concrete personal example is when we ranked "HTML Color Codes" with essential…

can you elaborate on colors (Groove)? Why does the landing page has orange, green + two shades of blue? Blue is in their logo, but red is missing. Instead there are orange and green. I have little to no experience in visual design. But intuitivelly I would expect fewer colors and better adjusted to match brand colors.
