Please, have landing pages & announcement pages explain up top what your thing is, or have the obvious click-targets (like the logo or project-name) take people to an introduction. If you've gone through all the trouble of designing/promoting a big launch/milestone site ("v1launchsite"!), don't require people to compose a Google query in another tab to get the one-sentence overview.

and not just what it is but also how it makes my life better.

Also, even after manually typing in the main project URL, I can't find what language is supported on the backend ("api side").

  From https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/README.md https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/README.md: > Redwood is an opinionated, full-stack, JavaScript/TypeScript web application framework > A Redwood application is split into two parts: a frontend and a backend. This is represented as two JS/TS projects within a single monorepo. > The api side is an implementation of a GraphQL API. Not sure you'd want to choose this if you want to roll your own API (without taking advantage of the framework/integration).

    Thanks, though what I'm looking for (and, I expect, many/most other developers too), is a simple statement of whether I can write my backend in Go, Java, python, node, etc.

Their main site seems to do a better job telling you what it is and what it does. https://redwoodjs.com/ https://redwoodjs.com/
