Noted. We will fix it. Building a color scheme from the color of the download button on the website someone suggested in the Reddit feedback thread gives: http://paletton.com/#uid=13u0u0krdJ0gpQRm3MwAyFSDErs > My personal opinion is that there are critical problems with the website as > it stands right now, and I don't think we can afford to bury our heads in > the sand about it. I don't think we are ignoring the problem. What we are is all volunteers. Many people have contributed changes and translations to this website. Personally I've been contributing a great deal of time to the project lately - above 20 hours in the past week - which is not sustainable so I will be stepping back in both the near and medium term. > Yes, I admit that most of these problems I could and should have pointed > out earlier, but that doesn't change the fact that they are valid concerns. > > Make no mistake, a bad website will kill our project. ... > I hate to say it, but I'm really starting to think that, while the previous > website wasn't good, the current website might be worse, and we would have > a much much better website if we had just stuck to the default Bootstrap > CSS (which is what most people do). I strongly disagree, and I really wish you would have brought up such strong opinions before this website went live. The old website was designed in 2009 and looked it. I don't understand why you chose not to bring this up earlier, but I agree that not doing so doesn't invalidate your observations. What it does do make it a lot more time-sensitive to address, which is stressful. This new website is far, far easier to modify and translate. Its infrastructure is superior. It'll be way easier to fix its color scheme. - Steve
