#2This has nothing to do with the actual product, which may be great, but... I am so ready for the trend of hyper-animated websites to start dying down.
I scrolled through the whole website, and while it looked great, by the time I got to the end I still had no idea what the product actually offered because my eyes were too busy watching all the little animations to pay attention to the content.

Also that yellow hurts.

#4I don't agree with the comments that the site looks bad. For one, the font is amazing! The layout is extremely clear and functional, a lot of carefully crafted details make this site very polished. Thumbs up!

#5Very cool site!
Re: Show HN: Depot
#6The "Learn More" section is ... well not a place where I learned more.
A tour of some sort would be great for a brief explanation of the product.
Fabulous webdesign, though, and bonus points for SSL.

Totally agree. Of course it has the standard trendy animations-as-you-scroll, but they aren't actively annoying, and once you get past the landing page everything is extremely clearly presented. I think this product looks terrific.

#8slightly off-topic but is there a term for the sort of syncing between the vertical scrolling and the animations? Is there some canonical thing everyone is using to implement this?
Really like the art style, dunno how much bigger companies will want to pay their bills (i.e. invoices you send) via Paypal though, 2.x% of 5 digits is a decent amount of cash

#9Nice site, but I'm always puzzled by this idea that a business can be managed entirely with a cookie-cutter product. Surely if your business can run on something like that, it has zero competitive advantage, right?
In practice, I find that supporting all the edge cases inherent in my business made it very worthwhile to build my own such tool. But then, I guess there are many other entrepreneurs out there who don't have the tech skills to roll their own version of this... this is probably for them rather than for me, and it certainly beats spreadsheets hands down.

#10Love the idea of centralizing the workflow of a project from lead to invoice in one tool. Don't like design for this use case, though - way too fancy and distracting.
