some feedback:
The homepage is visually cluttered. it took me a while just to parse the page and figure out what I'm supposed to do. even now that I do know what the page is about, my eyes still don't know where to look.
"Currently, you are in a shell that allow you to program the web in Javascript, Coffeescript or Typescript!" is an unnecessary detail. Just say "javascript* repl" and "*also runs coffeescript & typescript" at the bottom of the page.
I don't think the byline is working. I do a lot of front end work and have used a lot of these apis. "the shell for combining web apis" isn't putting a clear image into my mind. I don't know what it means to "combine web apis", nor do I know why I'd need a shell for it. Something like "the easiest way to work with popular web APIs" might be better--even though it is less technically accurate, it has a few advantages.
- it gives me a concrete idea that my mind can latch onto
- it piques my curiosity. "oh neat. why is this the easiest way to do XYZ?"
- it gives me a framework from which I can evaluate the rest of the page.
