I know it was aimed at GitHub, but this ended up only offending the OSS maintainers behind the docs theme.
It's fine not to like the design. But as a maintainer yourself, I would expect more tact with your words, as there are real people behind projects like Starlight.
One of the most requested GitHub features in years and the website looks like it was designed by someone 9 years into a 2 year community college program. github.github.com/gh-stack/
Companies invest millions in their product but treat docs as an afterthought.
I disagree, it must be a core concern.
I wrote a deep dive into what it takes to write docs loved by millions, the value it delivers, and my experience in Astro Docs.
If you want to support Astro, one of the best ways is to hire the people behind it.
There are amazing people on the core team looking for work right now—like me!
You get a talented engineer on your team, and give them the sustainability to keep improving Astro for everyone.
👋 I'm looking for a full-time software/DX engineer role.
With 3 years of experience as an open-source maintainer, I am a great fit if your team needs an expert in Astro/Starlight, tooling, documentation, accessibility, i18n, and empowering OSS communities.
