#32The webflow ads have piqued my interest. A lot of nice little projects are shown on Show HN but I don't know if I've ever seen any to feature any sort of sponsorship right off the bat. Pretty clever to throw that in there. Do you have any lessons learned to share about the process behind it? (If it came from an easy personal connection just to show proof of concept, that's cool too!)
Thanks for the feedback. In fact, they affiliate links. I put it to try the Egg-ads concept.
I really enjoyed that too, this is exactly how you do unobtrusive ads. I'd maybe put them on gradient backgrounds too, since the black disrupts the visual flow a bit.

#34Couldn't read them all, but I'm curious if there's a name referencing the company Stripe? ... These gradients always remind me of their website
actually does not exist. But it can be added. How about "Stripe Transaction" Not funny enough. I will think a little. Do you have a suggestion?
“Stripes and no stars” in reference to Stars and Stripes? Nah, “no stars” sounds negative.
“Stars and Stripe checkout”?

API is nowhere to be found in the names. So...
Stripe's API
It was one of the things that made them.

Actually, I don't like it when advertising is mixed into/entangled with content. At the first glance, from the authors perspective, it sounds tricky because it is unobstructive and discrete, this kind of ad people might not want to block.
As a user, I feel manipulated. I don't trust the content any more which is not properly limited from the ads. My point is not even about adblockers or ads in general, it is just that I don't want to consume a text which does not even hide its intention to manipulate me.
However I admit that the flagging and placement of advertising is probably a matter of taste.

#37It would be great if there was a button to set gradient as background for preview.
I second this. Came here to comment the same thing and figured I'd check if someone already had.
Love the website, exceptionally clean and well designed.

I also like the ads, nice job. Some tips: You should increase the surface area of your tags in the ads. Ideally they would cover the whole card and the egg, too. Also, consider adding a hover effect and a "pointer" cursor. I was trying to click your ads and I couldn't figure out how to!
Agreed that I was very confused in not seeing a pointer cursor on hovering _anywhere_ on the Ad card... any way this could have been made as a conscious decision to minimize the whole impression of the page being too invasive with its ads?
