SurrealDB – Document-graph database, for the realtime web

Hey, random tangential question: Why do you have `user-select: none` on the page? is there a reason that you don't want people to be able to copy/paste any of the paragraphs? Or is there some other reason

(I noticed as I found it jarring since I'll often select text while I'm reading it.)

EDIT/NOTE: Also, I imagine it might somewhat hurt things getting spread by word of mouth. If I wanted to share this with someone I'd naturally copy some sections, paste them into a message to someone that might be interested along with a link to the site. This isn't possibly with your landing page.

Hi mijoharas, no reason to be honest! It's just what we've done for other sites we've built in the past - a design reason more than anything else!

You're not the first one to make this point, so we'll get this removed from our site!

That's a really good note/point/addition mijoharas. We'll get it changed ASAP!

No worries, and no rush or anything. Was really just curious more than anything!
