- Command-line tools.
- SDKs and libraries.
- API products.
- Open-source projects with a paid tier.
What is inside
8 sections, top to bottom:
- Navbar Floating: A glass pill that hides on scroll down, with a gliding hover highlight and a mobile sheet.
- Hero Terminal: Developer-tool hero: beams on a grid, and a terminal that types your install and dev commands.
- Features Grid: Six feature cards with an ember spotlight that follows the pointer, revealed in a stagger.
- Features Sticky Scroll: A sticky list on the left lights up the step you are reading while visuals scroll past on the right.
- Pricing Usage: Usage-based pricing: drag the slider and the monthly estimate rolls to match.
- Testimonials Wall: A masonry wall of quotes with ratings, revealed as you scroll.
- CTA Newsletter: Newsletter signup that validates inline and confirms with a drawn check.
- Footer Minimal: One quiet row: brand, a few links and the year.
How it is built
The terminal types your real commands, the walkthrough highlights steps as you scroll and the pricing slider uses your own pricing function.
