We liked our old look, but one funny thing about how things are going in the world: our old color scheme was too close to what happens when you ask Claude to generate a site, and so even though we paid a human to build it, we didn't want to communicate slop, especially because that's not what we did!
Nick Noble is our designer, he put in a bunch of work on this, and I really like it too.
I love how little latency there is on your website. I'm often thrown off by websites freezing on navigation, something we euphemistically call "loading". I feel we should have moved beyond that in the year of 2026. Your website really respects the user in this regard. Aesthetics are splendid as well.
No worries, Windows 11, browser I just tested in Opera and Edge. Shared Intel GPU runs at 70% in either, guessing due to the lovely clouds drifting by.
Thank you!

It's killing my GPU tho so can't look at it took long without my fans going to max.
What is your browser/OS combo? Thank you for bringing it up, we can only fix things that we hear about, so I appreciate knowing that something is off.

Thanks!
There will be a lot more of it soon :D
Hire somebody who's got at least a modicum of understanding of (web) typography.
Small hint: A moving background layer makes reading supremely annoying, and for some people even (virtually) impossible.
I'll have it stop on non-homepages, it should also respect reduce-motion.
Any other reccs?
