What do you think of Bucket's new, markdown-inspired homepage?

We just launched a new bucket.co.


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.


We'd love to have your thoughts.

Launching soon!

Hey @fmerian cool stuff!

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.


I love it!

I like it! Super clean and unique. Copy is great, too.

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.
