Some quick observations. on Chromium Version 23.0.1271.97 Ubuntu 12.04 (23.0.1271.97-0ubuntu0.12.04.1):
- broken links: download, research - only 2 examples? :) how come some got cut? - web scraper example is cut off when clicking "?" Maybe make the overlay window variable width? on mobile (android 4.1.2, default browser): - topright menu has very dark background when opened, so links are not very visible On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 5:39 PM, Sam Tobin-Hochstadt <sa...@cs.indiana.edu> wrote: > Recently I (with assistance from Asumu) have spent some time drafting > a revised home page for Racket.
