Am I the only one who finds the text overlay on the background slightly trippy. Other than that fire as usual
I’m in Australia. Looks like we’re still on the old site.
Try clicking and dragging on the globe.

(disclaimer: I work for Stripe, but no one there told me about that feature)

Awesome effect! It would be great to have a more detailed explanation or tutorial or whatever about this.
Gives a more corporate/big company vibe to me. The background rainbow thing is also distracting, and makes the title and nav hard to read at times. Also is the Stripe blue gone?
In general I like it, but definitely not a fan of the trippy rainbow in the hero section. Which is strange, because I did a similar effect in the last site I built.

They're implementation isn't working with the text, particularly when the background goes to the darkest red behind the text.

Turning off the opacity, makes the statement much clearer, and I think stronger at the same time.

Looks great, except the overlay effect makes the text unreadable for certain hues (like red). Can't wait to see how many other SaaS websites copy this trend.
Let's me guess, makes it harder to figure out what I need to know to make a decision for my well being, but is modern, new and improved. HOW DID I GUESS ? When do we grow up
So much of Stripe's UI seems to have been influential on other company landing pages: the animated dropdown on the navbar, the slashed background shapes, having interactive code editors and displaying devices on white backgrounds

Was Stripe the originator of this style or did they just make it famous?

Type in Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start for a surprise
Nice VIM reference. ;)
