Inspired by Markdown, a plain text formatting syntax by @gruber, readable and consistent, we wanted to reflect on a vision — making feature flagging as frictionless as possible.
For anything technical, I’m a big fan of Markdown. If your platform were aimed more at a general audience, I’d say it needs to look a bit more "modern."
But given the context, it works, it’s super easy to scan and feels natural.
Unpopular opinion: I don't think markdown-based pages are that readable nor user-friendly. At least not for landing pages. It might be consistent, yeah... but I'm not sure if being consistently hard to read/understand is something anyone should be striving for. Copy and content is great as always though.
@javitoluz great feedback, Javier! thanks! you're spot on. we knew that this design direction would make the page feel less scannable because of high visual density. definitely a fair point.
what would you suggest to improve it? spacing? font family? font size?

I like it. (And, the product looks pretty slick too!)
As a developer, it feels like this code snippet could be more front-and-centre though.
I find it beautiful. I don't know if it's my ADHD, but markdown is soothing for my brain.
