How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
- Rating
- 9.
- Why?
- I really like dark themed web pages. Black background with white text gives easy to read text. I prefer it over a white background with black text because it doesn't feel like I am looking into the Sun. Code sections stand out with different colors which make them easy to spot and read. The only gripe is that there is so much unused blank space.

- Why?
- The home page is very interesting to scroll, it is very different from all other pages. On any other page, it is a lot easier to navigate. It feels like a lot like w3schools, in that content is categorized neatly and on the left hand side. There is a search bar to access other parts without digging through which is nice. Plus there is always quick access to GitHub and Discord if needed at the top.
