I like it overall. I mean, it is boring, but in a good way! * it looks like so many other material design inspired sites on the internet today * that means it feels familiar and not scary or different * which is good for corporates wanting to adopt something so critical to their code base * it is easy to read and the information is accessible and clear
The one thing I feel strongly about is the reworking the logo. It feels way too much 1980's disney cartoon. If it were more wireframe: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/red-chilli-pepper-wire-frame-picture-idBD6572-001?s=170667a https://img1.cgtrader.com/items/3845/5598d2cc3c/pear-high-resolution-3d-model-max-obj-3ds-fbx.jpg then I'd feel it was an attempt to say "Cayenne is the model on which you put the skin of your application". Perhaps if the lines were thin and delicate it would look less cartoon. Other than that logo, really nice work!
