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!

I agree, it looks good! On mobile in particular, it looks refreshingly good and feels very functional.

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.

Asians only live in the USA? I know blaming everything on the US is trendy, but I'm not sure about this one...

Of course it was; how could there be any doubt? Surely the designer, or the artist, knows full well what she puts in the picture. The name of the game these days is diversity and inclusion. White males are so passé :-)

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.

Wait, what? Where are you seeing jquery and bootstrap? Their javascript payload is around 10kb, whereas jquery is 30kb minified gzipped.

I clicked hoping it was Warcraft 3 beta. Blizzard please give us Warcraft 4.

After seeing the dumpster fire that was the Warcraft 3 remaster, and the awfully executed heel-face turn in World of Warcraft's most recent writing, do you really want to see Blizzard make a Warcraft 4?

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…

The insight with "every fucking bootstrap site" wasn't about sites having similar looks, it was about sites haplessly repeating the same design-forward look and feel.

Bootstrap invited sites to use huge full-bleed stock photos, carousels, colorful buttons, large icons, slide out menus, etc when none of that fancy design language actually resonated with the function of the site.

The desire wasn't to mock boring sites into hiring rockstar designers to make their designs even more unique and fashionable. It was for boring sites to lay off on the cheap whoopy doo design (because design-forward content is tiring when too familiar) and just present themselves clearly and without all the shitty pizazz.

This site does have that problem, but its remedy is basically the opposite of what you seem to be suggesting.

What is used to build this site? some SSG, or SSR, or SPA, or a CMS like wordpress? check its html source showed jquery 3.5.1 and bootstrap 4. Also liked this newly updated page: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/ and it's using jquery1.x still. now I start to wonder all those new SSG|SSR trend along with SPA, maybe bootstrap + jquery combination is good enough?

At the end of the day using Bootstrap and Jquery is no different from using HTML, CSS and ES6 JS. They are just tools and anything you build with them can be replicated using other means.
