[systemd-devel] website

[František Šumšal]

Hello,

I'd say calling it a 'terrible website' is somewhat subjective. I'm not a fan of single-page websites or websites
which won't load with a plethora of other javascript libraries. Also, as the person, who 'nominated' systemd for
having a 'terrible website' said in the thread you linked - "I like this kind of simplicity" - which is also true.
The current systemd homepage is pretty simple, without any additional distracting eye-candy, and it's getting the
job done really well, for a 'fancy' man page (and as a bonus, it works in elinks/links/lynx!).

Also, there is a second systemd website, again pretty bare-bones, generated using GH pages[0].

That said, this is just my personal opinion, not in any way affiliated with the systemd organization. Also, I'm
not trying to disrespect your offer, just pointing out different aspects of the current website :-).

It is cross-platform (bsd/linux/osx/windows) and open source (MIT license), up to 15 times faster than its closest rival Hugo and can handle building websites with millions of pages.

It would look pretty much the same for a systemd website made with Nift just using a different template and having different content etc..
