I said this last time and I'll say it again: Stripe's front-end team makes beautiful, beautiful things.

Even the text shimmer on the "slide across" was done well. Animations are an excellent way to convey information in a digital medium and Stipe make good use of them.

nice design, but i wonder if their design team has any non-retina machines? the anti-aliasing in the tilted phone UI is pretty bad in Chrome on a non-retina display.

  Ditto with Firefox 38.0.5 on OS X 10.10.3. First time I've had any disappointment in a Stripe design. Their stuff has been solid.

  Chrome on iPad in landscape shows the phone, non-tilted, with just a black screen. I had to check the screenshot someone else posted to see what it should look like. In portrait, the phone is tilted but still nothing displays on the phone.

  It's actually an implementation issue and yes, I agree it's unfortunate. The problem is that the video is rotated in 3D in CSS (so we can reuse the same video without the fancy 3D effect on smaller displays since the page is vertically responsive) and unfortunately, the result varies depending on the browser (it looks much better on Safari, for example).

The Stripe web dashboard is nice, but it's completely unresponsive. Why are they developing native apps instead of making their main product mobile-friendly?

  Serious question: If they have fully functional native apps why do they need a fully responsive mobile web client?

    Because you may not easily convert all users to download your native app(s) across various app stores. Mobile Web can address the LCD, regardless of device (assuming your users have phones with browsers).

    Because I don't use iOS and changes to the web dashboard are guaranteed to be available immediately on my phone, not after they get around to updating the mobile app and getting the app approved.

  I hate responsive websites, I prefer to use a full sized version on my phone. Most of "responsive" websites hide vital functions from a smartphone user, I hate that.

    Is a site truly responsive if it delivers a lesser experience on mobile, even if it does happen to change the layout so that the experience it delivers, regardless of the lack of content, does work on mobile?

    You are the first person I've ever heard say that they hate responsive websites. Unless you're playing around with your window size, you wouldn't even notice if they adding responsive features to the dashboard. Sounds like you just hate poorly done websites.
