Very nice design, but very bad frame rate on my retina Macbook Pro.
Probably down to the animations and transparent gradient combination.
Nicely designed site overall. Although top top-gradient header clashes a bit in certain places as you scroll...
Looks like it's been inspired by https://www.gosquared.com/, https://stripe.com/. Which can only be a good thing.
This is what I currently do with my acorns. Maybe this product will be better for me??
I don’t like it. Honestly.
Beautiful site. What I love most about this design is that, while being really impressive visually, every bit of the design draws my attention to the content. I clicked on it to look at colors and layout and ended up reading for ages about the product and the team. I think that's what is missing from a lot of "modern" design nowadays. And none of this scroll-jacking nonsense either. Good stuff.
Beautifully designed and very effective, but as mentioned above, very poor frame rate. The script controlling the parallax effect needs to be de-bounced or at least rate-limited enough not to slow scrolling, at the moment it fires on every movement. Still, a lovely site none-the-less.
