I just hate the trend that most tech landing pages have these days of random graphics that don't mean anything. I want our content to be substantial.
You're right there's a lot of content. I'm not best sure how to organize it, except maybe to break it into other pages. There's a LOT to cover and convey. I just didn't have time to break it up for this iteration but maybe we will later!
_> Related to my previous point, if I wouldn’t know Caddy previously, I might get the impression that Caddy is mainly about certificates/TLS, just because that’s featured very prominently. Maybe my mental model wasn’t right, though, because I always thought Caddy was a general-purpose web server primarily, that also happens to provide some nifty convenience features around certificate auto-renewal._
Caddy's flagship feature is TLS -- most people discover it because of its exceptional offering here. But you are right, it is a general purpose server and proxy. But our TLS features is one major thing that sets us apart.
I'll also see what we can do about the green background, maybe to darken it a bit.
Dark mode does have an effect on some pages, like the Features page. And the up-and-coming docs pages that aren't published yet. The theme makes a big difference on those, and it will on the homepage someday too.
Really appreciate your consideration! We'll work on improvements.

Couching substantial content in the visual language of "random graphics" results in the parent comment. You could have cake and eat some of it too if the transforms straightened out on mouseover/click/tap. It wouldn't make the transformed ones any easier to read, but it'd at least let people opt out of the flash to focus on the substance (and further signal that they _aren't_ random graphics despite the effect).
