Should I understand by that you don't like my web design? Spoiler: I don't mind.

I put a great deal of thought into the design http://scheme-lang.com/.

Here is the rationale:

I wanted a serif-font because most if not all schemes are related to academia,

I think that rejecting the roots of Scheme is bad karma. It is very bold to pick

a serif font for a web view. It seems to me increasing the font-size and line-height

helps readability. I use a similar technic in my blog at https://hyper.dev/blog/generic-tuple-store.html

It should remind the perfect curves of latex font but readable on screen.

For the background and visual artifacts, I wanted something in the spirit

of https://www.scheme.com/tspl4/ that is computer / algorithm generated

visuals something like fractals. Something like current racket website: https://racket-lang.org/

But more like what you can find at https://www.reddit.com/r/generative/

By the way, I created a thread about the topic in /r/scheme.

I settled a colourful strong abstract dark background, but not a video. A black background

because every website around the web (but not caniuse.com) use white, white-ish

background. I thought that being original would help convey the idea that Scheme

requires attention. The colourful abstract and strong part, was mainly to balance

with the lack of visual in the actual page. Without a video, it gives a sense of dynamism.

The background is actually an image from space I picked from https://unsplash.com/

Here is another design I made for another (scheme) software, that is missing

the dynamic nature and also sound much more serious and too much

pretentious: https://hyperdev.fr/link-grammar-website/

Logo: I like biwascheme logo and also chibi-scheme logo.

Colours: I like flat ui colors

My favourite scheme implementation website is by far the website of gerbil even if

it contradicts all the above points.

I am not saying, schemedoc api browser should use my style, I just want get started

the conversation about the cosmetics aspects, the visuals and possibly ui/ux elements

that we want to have in the application.
