Show HN: Dropbase 2.0 – Turn offline files into live databases

On a somewhat unrelated note, the design of this landing page is fantastic. It is exactly how I like to have new tools presented to me. All the fundamental competencies of the tool displayed on one page, with sufficient, but not verbose, technical detail. Kudos.

Yeah, although in my case it would have been nice to have a 'light' version, as I have some trouble reading the dark grey text on a black background in broad daylight.

Judging from the source code, it appears to be a webflow site — https://www.webflow.com

I too very much like this landing page. Is it a custom one? And if so, are there any services that would provide a template like this one? I would like to have one like this, but unfortunately, Im far from a CSS expert.

Checkout TailwindUI[0] they have a bunch of surprisingly high quality blocks for building these types of pages. I use them all the time!

TailwindUI is fine so long as you don't want to customise the blocks they give you. As soon as you want to do that you're in a world of pain.

Example: I wanted to use their "Hero Sections - with angled image on right" without the navigation where shown (was going to add a standard top navbar). As soon as you delete it, the angled bar doesn't reach to the top. I ended up keeping an empty navbar in that place to keep the block looking right.

Thanks! We also added shots and short videos of the product. We don't like it when we can't see what we get ;)

Basically a rip off of https://www.linear.app
