They've customized it with CSS (narrower, fainter). It's still there but on a large monitor it's probably barely visible. Another interesting tidbit about the page is that it downloads 32 CSS files and 141 (!) JS files. I und

I don't disagree with you but let's keep in mind that this is a low level library, not a user-facing product, and it does nothing by itself. So it's like complaining that SDL or DXVK don't have screenshots.
