Show IH: CloudQuery - Turn any website to serverless API (with SPA support!)

Source code and sample usage: https://github.com/cloudfetch/cloudquery

CloudQuery is a tool extract from my https://cloudfetch.info project.

Hope it provides some help for your next project.

    I assume you have posted looking for some feedback apart of sharing, and at first glance, I have two suggestions:

    1. The main green block after header somehow sounded "too much enterprise and scary" instead of a fun tool that I would like to try.

    I would suggest eventually changing the background and the copy to something more meaningful to help me directly understand what is the tool about. From what I've read I've understood I can "fetch a website", but what is that exactly? (I understand what you meant, but the regular user may not)

    1. I've wanted to try the tool and I've clicked the first option in the right "Create fetcher". A popup suddenly appeared asking me to signup.

    I would prefer a million times a more welcoming on-boarding. "As a regular user" what would make me want to sign up that bad if I haven't really understood what the tool does so far?

    I've wanted to try to create something to understand it, and it had a barrier right in front of me.

    Will test more deeply once I get home.

    Cheers

      Thanks for your suggestions @ivoecpereira, they are very helpful. I realized I was trying too hard to have more signups which is actually not very user friendly.
      And the landing page definitely have room for upgrade
