Some other design elements that stand out to me:
- The transition between dropdowns in the top nav. Really smooth, and something you won't see anywhere else.
- Semi-consistent and sufficiently different color schemes for the different products. See the difference between https://stripe.com/atlas https://stripe.com/atlas and https://stripe.com/us/sigma https://stripe.com/us/sigma.
- Subtle box shadows. They've done this by cranking the blur way up around 30px. For comparison, the Google search bar uses a blur around 1px or 2px.
- davidivadavid 9y agoIt's funny to see how pretty much everybody has been copying Stripe's style over the last few years/months — that top navigation in particular.
- gog 9y agoRegarding the dropdowns in the top down, they are only smooth if you have a new computer. It's not a smooth experience on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro and the fans kick in.
- deftturtle 9y agoLol how in 2017 our yardstick of bad performance is fans kicking in. If even a 2013 can't handle code from today, that's way too complex and computationally demanding.

- KaoruAoiShiho 9y ago>- The transition between dropdowns in the top nav. Really smooth, and something you won't see anywhere else. It's unique and pretty but I kinda hate it. Makes no sense from an information hierarchy perspective. Instead of it being 2 separate drawers opening and closing like typical dropdowns it's 1 drawer merging into another, wut?
- victornomad 9y agoIt might be pretty, but my computer just got crazy scrolling both sites. I hope they would design for everybody. Not all of us have 32gb of ram and the latest cpu + gpu combo...
- marenkay 9y agoWell, I have that and those two sites still lead to CPU overload.
