Worst case that sort of content would be just under the banner on mobile devices --- I really want to avoid a 'crammed' look. > Sorry, but "An innovative and intuitive plain text markup syntax" means nothing > to me.

I'd be interested in hearing more thoughts on this, but for now here are my own: - innovative :: does 'new' and exciting things that similar products don't - intuative :: despite doing a lot, it isn't complex to work with, but thoughtfully designed to be easy to use - plain text markup sytax :: what Org is ... mostly I personally don't find 2003 at odds with "innovative". Something can both have competitive advantages, and be mature. Please let me know if this explanation of my view affects your own. > In a "full" version my suggestion is to minimize amount of text significantly > larger than 1em. 4em is excessively huge font for normal monitor.

I take it you mean 1em to be the body text size, and are just referring to the size of headings? Or do you mean 1rem? The body text is currently ~1.2rem FYI. > On the other hand, I hope, donate links work but in new design thy are not > contrast and eye catching enough despite their colors. Interesting that you should say this, personally I find them more eye-catching than the current grey box in the corner. I'm also planning on repeating that "Created ... support ..." banner on the other pages, perhaps as a footer --- I haven't worked out the details yet. If the colour needs to be more prominent, we could turn the styling from links to buttons, but I suspect the change wouldn't be worth it. > In my opinion on a laptop/desktop screen the banner should not occupy so much > vertical space.

Unfortunately I am not familiar enough > with content of the site to recommend "hot" links to the main page. Mmmm. This is a good point. The essential details are communicated by the current large banner IMO - plain text markup syntax - versatile - a few use cases + keeping notes + todo lists + planning + writing - system My current idea is to have the banner be a quick "what is it?", then have elaboration as the first part of the content, links to other important parts of the site (e.g. features, install) and little details like latest version and release date after that. > Priority of content is different for mobile and laptop/desktop visitors but the > latter should see content, not just banner and void on the home page.

Let's see how this is with the revised banner :) >> Are you saying that you find the current mention of Emacs in the instillation >> page works well? > > I do not remember how I realized that org-mode is a part of .deb package when I > decided to try org-mode for the first time.

Maybe it should be emphasizing with headers: > "Use org-mode bundled with Emacs" vs. "Install latest stable org-mode package > from ELPA". I think Ill try to work in a direct mention of Emacs in the banner. > Please, fix a typo. Should be "Installation".

For starters I don't think this is even listed, but even if it was, with no links to the site it should be settled quite firmly at the bottom of the last page :P
