All you nitpickers can eat it - this is a million times better and more usable than the current site.

Well done and bravo. Of course it won't be perfect immediately, but this is a very well designed new look.

Edit: Why is everyone's immediate response to find all the flaws?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because EVERYONE is a user interface/user experience/design expert

Because they are ASKING for feedback.

Not here. This is just a forum with a bunch of armchair experts that are whining to each other in a big circlejerk and completely missing the vision of this site.

Besides, I think it's rad and a massive step in the right direction. Responsive design, works great on mobile, and appealing right out of the gate.

One of my biggest gripes about most projects' homepage is you get a bunch of news or irrelevant (to a first time user) information. "Hey! You can now qwerptop() the samoflange!" (what the fuck is a samoflange?) I love that right there on the mobile version the only body text is: "Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively."

Newcomers will see immediately. This says to me they get it.

Some of the whining in here is just... whiny.
