The responsiveness of this website is what I thought things were going to be like for all of the internet.

all it has is jquery3 + bootstrap4, still amazing.

Back in the day there use to be a joke website called "every fucking bootstrap site" [1] where it would lambast the popular design zeitgeist of the time. I really wish websites would opt for more distinctive looks rather than the massive homogenization we see across the web. Everything looks the same when it doesn't have to. Things can be stylized while accounting for accessibility and usability. I don't know what to…

Do you have have any good examples of useful and visually interesting websites?

So that's what W3C, Inc. is onto these days? I thought they were into standardizing HTML etc., meaning they follow a process to take HTML review drafts from the whatwg github repo ultimately to recommendation status these days? At least that's what their HTML WG charter says they do in Februars, but they didn't, when last year their review resulted in Steve Faulkner's major edit of the HTML spec to get rid of novel heading level interpretation and the so-called "outlining algorithm" - one of the original innovations that came with Ian Hickson's HTML5.

I liked the hover effect on the navbar buttons. It's simple, but it gives a kind of cartoonish effect.

Unlike most comments here, I think this is very well made!, its much better than the original site, easy to read, easy to understand and invitijg to learn more about W3C, rather than an old website telling to stay away.

I think Debian should do the same, its much better now, but its no fedora website.

maybe because w3 stands for "WORLD WIDE Web Consortium"? there is not only USA in this world, it is funny that you are interfering with the rest of the world for your own social and political problems.

I think your self-confidence needs a giant boost if you are a white male who is "concerned about being represented".

Why don't you go and check the executive boards for the companies listed in the "Working with stakeholders of the Web" section to help soothe your fragile ego.

I like it. It's easy to be against change and difficult to get behind it.

Maybe in attracting developers who criticize it, some will end up finding something educational. The homepage could be more useful, especially around the ways to contribute. But the main categories are right there in the first sentence of the first section, and the data structures makes sense.

Good job!
