But as always there are already people in the thread dismissing it as obnoxious, pointless and unnecessary :) (and comparing it to Amazon's homepage, as if it was a consumer facing e-commerce site with a critical need for mass user retention from the first page load. Another person called it a red flag and highly suspicious)
It's very difficult to please HN when it comes to design, and usually the best design here is no design at all. If as a web designer you can't express yourself even for non-critical and lighthearted landing and showcase pages like these, the amount of outlets available to exercise your creativity becomes very narrow. I can't help but feel that in the eyes of this forum it's a pointless endeavour and not worth aspiring for.
