11 years ago If I'm correct, we are not permanently cutting it down, but only making the showed portion on the homepage shorter, right? Because if the user clicks, "learn more", I think it is fine if the directed page keeps the same length of words.
Anyway, I think this would work to help summarize things in a briefer way for the homepage

The "About Stuypulse" and "About FIRST" walls of text on the homepage are unfortunately much too long for their own good. Nobody would willingly read that much, and it takes up too much space on mobile. It would be a win situtation for everybody if we cut both down to less than half of their original sizes.
