They look like they're trying to get me to buy something 😅

i feel like it's overdoing it. flue is probs a good example of something nice and simple yet elegant

I think the warm yellow backgrounds and serif fonts are overused at this time. Maybe going simpler, cutting down on dense blocks of text, and adding some small graphics or animations would be even cooler. 🤔️

We can collaborate, feel free to show a photo or a video of your idea :)

I also tried a diff color variation

@southpolesteve are we allowed to create a logo? Also, do you have any ideas for the aesthetic of the site?

I've tried something with figma, It’s not finished yet, but I already have some prototypes.

That split layout is quite bizarre haha. I would have put the left side as the hero, and the right side as the below fold content without the tabs.

It does look quite nice though.

Thanks for the feedback. It is a bit unconventional 🤣, I’ll switch it back to a more classic top-to-bottom layout later.

I like the logo and the globe idea, the whole thing looks too much like a doc tho. I'll try incorporating them in tomorrow to my current idea. I'm thinking of doing an animation of some sort, not sure what should we animate tho. The vite site has a cool one showing that vite is the engine underneath @MaxtuneLee

@james-elicx @southpolesteve what should be the thesis of vinext? "100% Next API, deploy anywhere"?

Thanks, the content on the right side definitely needs some adjustment. My initial idea was to make the page feel like a sequence of animated documents, but now the layout feels a bit too stiff. I also think the Vite website is a great reference, and https://anime.js, https://motion.dev, https://elevenlabs.io, and https://nextjs.org are all nice examples as well.

Animation is really one of the harder parts to figure out, mainly because the content still isn’t fully defined yet. I’ll also map out what content we should have from top to bottom later.
