We built it using Webflow (an amazing YC company!) and used the Timber template as the foundation: https://webflow.com/templates/html/timber-ui-kit-website-tem...

One thing we strived for during the design phase was to make it feel like a tool you would want to use. From the colors to the bold fonts and large screenshots. I personally was inspired by what Stripe and Slack did, take a traditionally "unsexy" space and aim to make it "sexy".

Great job on the landing page and congrats on the launch! Definitely addressing a real pain with this! One question, how did you do the cli / typing text animation? Also in webflow?

Thank you! In Webflow you can use HTML Embed components. In there I wrote some javascript to type out each character.

I put a Gist that has all the code but fair warning it is pretty hacky as I made it over a weekend for fun. I definitely wouldn't treat this code as "high quality" code. https://gist.github.com/bvallelunga/6846593ca50500f058a1f07f...

Ahh! This is great thanks!
