Although we're all big fans of Treehouse, we're definitely not associated with them. I'm sorry you feel that it could be called out as a rip, but our in-house designer develops everything from scratch. I think it's safe to say that both landing pages are pretty typical.

I think it's just things like:

-The color scheme: http://bluetide.pro/DWYp/5BcKpQnl

-The hexagon cut for images/icons: http://bluetide.pro/VZYM/3VbvSuxF , but then using circles for avatars: http://bluetide.pro/LOFC/4Np9xUmq

-The wide button styles: http://bluetide.pro/yzft/L49wdKTr

And yes, these are common things in general, but I think they stick out more to me because the products are in the same realm.

Just some food for thought! :)

EDIT: And don't get me wrong, I don't mean this in a bad way. It's just something to be aware of that I noticed. I really like the idea of the product, in general! Good luck with it! :)

Zach - Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely take a closer look at things like this in the future.

Also the size of the top dark area is exactly the same (438 pixels) if you count the purple strip on Bitcast
