Bug: "A beautiful design system powered by Bootstrap 4. by Vantage Design" has a higher z-index than the block beneath it so it floats above it.

Yep, I am aware of that. Going to fix it asap! Thanks :) EDIT: it's fixed!

That bright green looks quite strong in pair with white text. Have you tried to run your colour palette on a tool like https://medialab.github.io/iwanthue/ and see how they score on the accessibility axis ?

Yes, I have looked at the WebAim WAVE accessibility report and that's something I'm going to address with an update soon. Though, I do not believe all contrast issues are a huge problem in all cases. Thanks for that link, will check it out!

While I'm fully supportive of making a choice to not use current trendy frameworks... putting out a jQuery-based design system in 2020 doesn't feel like it is going to find a large target audience.

Maybe not the big, funded websites. But I'm sure a lot of people doing small, static-y websites for MVPs, personal websites, or small products will use JQuery for a long time to come. JQuery is a no-brainer for anyone with small website with limited interactivity. JQuery is like the PHP of front-end - inexpensive to build with, easy to use and loads of information available on stackoverflow.

Unfortunately I couldn't disagree more. You do not really need JQuery any more, as JS has matured. I just see it as wasted loading time.

I like to see new things done with jQuery. React-and-friends are too over-used right now, and it's suffocating us who want simple libs for simple sites.

JQuery has a lot of ergonomics that I'm really comfortable with (mainly chaining).
