Inspiration for the site:
planetscale.com - for daring to do something radically different
basecamp.com - for their heavy emphasis on UI screenshots and videos on the page
github.com/matiassingers/awesome-readme - awesome list of markdown-powered goodness ❤️

That's it. Simple and novel, yet familiar.
Have a look yourself:
bucket.co ⚡️
Hope you like it!

A table of contents tells you what you'll find on the page at a glance.
And since each subpage (like Flags and Feedback) explains how you'd use the feature from A to Z laid out in a chronological order, we number each section to clearly communicate that.

Speaking of docs, I love vertical menu bars; they're quick to scan and make good use of the wide screen on desktop. It's time we use them for marketing pages too!
Also, just like footnotes in documents, we can use the gutter on the right to add more context.

To make every part of the product more tangible, let's add inline links directly to our documentation.
Curious to learn more about something → explore in the docs.

We want full focus to be on the product - show don't tell.
So UI screenshots and videos fill the majority of the site.
