This was my biggest take, when I see someone selling a design tool that’s looks very much like designed by LLM, that’s a red flag. I got the exact same vibe, no idea whether it was a prompt or a detailed design, but right now it looks like output of a prompt and not hand crafted.
replyGiven the whole idea is selling a design tool that’s looks very gives user a sense of they can control details, this page doesn’t deliver that at all. I’d focus on the design, because that’s the biggest demo of your product maybe even bigger than the demo.
Imagine a unique website that users looks and feel like I wish this was my website. A rare instance visual design actually matters for a startup :)
I think it's a good point. I'm going to spend a bit more time on the design - and if sales continue well then I can look at getting a designer.
replyThe irony.
replyWhat irony? This is a design tool, it does not make you good at design.
replyDesign is one one those word with hundreds meanings. It seems there’s a confusion here between "art director" and "UI crafter".
replyI suspect its the color scheme? I wanted something to contrast with but pair with https://motion.dev but I know AIs pump out a lot of purple. I'm mostly a developer though so my design skills are a little rusty still!
replyA big smell and my biggest pet peeve with them is the excessive, custom javascript animations that don't respect my settings to disable animations and which break through my own extra defenses, all tucked away in some webpack chunk I'd have to debug to get rid of. As soon as I see above-the-fold text fade and slide in I close the tab to spare my head, stomach, and CPU.
replyMotion page looks much better, but other than purple I’d focus on design more, even to suggest hire a designer on project basis, let them make a stunning landing page. If you are selling a design tool (arguably CSS is somewhere in between) then you have to show your mastery of the domain. —assuming you are serious and it’s not a weekend project
