It's a truly great resource. Have you thought about the Primer for people who are newer to curves? For those unfamiliarized and looking to start adopting beziers, the Primer's layout, length and depth may be off-putting from a learning resource perspective. The layout makes it seem like you have to learn all of the parts in sequence which isn't the case. Depending on a person's use case, it could be that, for example, only 20% is applicable and found in sections 1-3, 17, 20-23, and could be learned without going through all the sections in-between. Someone totally new to beziers wouldn't know where to start making the distinction for which sections apply to them and give up entirely.
My suggestion is, think you could create an "applications of beziers" page which lists common bezier use cases? eg. Draw a curved path. Animate using easing. Animate along a curve. Animate along a curve with an ease. Then link from there to only to the sections you'd need to learn and apply to get to that application? It would be infinitely more helpful to new learners.
The Primer would then remain a great resource as a standalone. And the Applications page would be a great navigation and learning resource page for people looking to start.
