Ask HN: What are examples of awesome open source project websites?
Often when an open source project is discussed here on HN there is a conversation around the project's website. Criticisms and suggestions for improvement get raised. In that spirit, could you name examples of awesome open source project websites? -- websites that hit all the key requirements for new and returning visitors. For extra points, please explain why the website is awesome.
- asukachikaru 1y agohttps://animejs.com/ https://animejs.com/ This is a js animation library so there may be some home advantage but very well made nontheless.
- mr_o47 1y agoThis is really cool and I love the animations
- baobun 1y agoHAProxy, specifically the docs site, make a fantastic job of making the vast documentation accessible and navigable. https://docs.haproxy.org/2.4/configuration.html https://docs.haproxy.org/2.4/configuration.html https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/haproxy-configuration-manual/latest/ https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/haproxy-configuration-... I see now there is a Beta of a newer design of the docs at .com which, looking at it now, I hope they just scrap.

- firefax 1y agoCan we get a shout out to all the projects that are just barebones 90s style HTML? Fast loading, clean design, right to the point. Contrast that with say, Parrot Security: https://www.parrotsec.org/ https://www.parrotsec.org/ Now, the design itself is nice. Prominent download button, some marketing copy, then documentation etc... but only if I enable JS -- otherwise, just a blank page. Maybe I'm paranoid or crazy, but I prefer to give JS out as little as possible. I appreciate when folks like paulg design a site like HN so that I can access the core functionality without JS.
- RossBencina 1y agoI agree that barebones HTML with no js is a fairly obvious requirement. But can you give specific examples of great barebones HTML open source project sites?
