I will definitely have time to finish this in July. Which points would you like to see addressed before this PR can be merged?

Revisiting this. Is there a reason why the old PR was closed?

Also, I'd personally be happy to merge if some of the placeholder content is removed. Honestly, it's not like the existing front page has any resources, so even a fairly clean slate would be a huge improvement over the current one.

I'm happy to take this on some time next week — I will try to get it into a mergeable state and we can always iterate further after it's merged.

Apologies for the confusion. I don’t have admin permissions on this repo, and the previous PR had complex merge conflicts. Since it was from Simon’s fork, and I was adding some features to the landing page, I accidentally messed up some git operations. So I took those changes and opened a new PR from a branch within this repo to make it easier to manage.

Totally agree. However, before merging, I think we should either:

• Complete the light/dark mode feature and update that in the docs repo for consistency, or
• Move the color theme changes to a separate PR if we're not ready to finalize them yet.
