Some other design elements that stand out to me:

- The transition between dropdowns in the top nav. Really smooth, and something you won't see anywhere else.

- Semi-consistent and sufficiently different color schemes for the different products. See the difference between https://stripe.com/atlas and https://stripe.com/us/sigma.

- Subtle box shadows. They've done this by cranking the blur way up around 30px. For comparison, the Google search bar uses a blur around 1px or 2px.

It might be pretty, but my computer just got crazy scrolling both sites. I hope they would design for everybody. Not all of us have 32gb of ram and the latest cpu + gpu combo...

Well, I have that and those two sites still lead to CPU overload.

Regarding the dropdowns in the top down, they are only smooth if you have a new computer. It's not a smooth experience on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro and the fans kick in.

Lol how in 2017 our yardstick of bad performance is fans kicking in. If even a 2013 can't handle code from today, that's way too complex and computationally demanding.

2016 MacBook Pro and a 2017 PC. Lots of fanning and lagging on those pages.

It's funny to see how pretty much everybody has been copying Stripe's style over the last few years/months — that top navigation in particular.

It's unique and pretty but I kinda hate it. Makes no sense from an information hierarchy perspective. Instead of it being 2 separate drawers opening and closing like typical dropdowns it's 1 drawer merging into another, wut?
