2 years ago Thanks Ilias for your thorough feedback, as always! I'm still unsure about the "duplicated" technology pages, hence the absence of links so far. I'll find a way to do that elegantly (hopefully).

The point of simplifying the Technology section was to reduce the total height of the homepage, correct? If we are going to skip the technology page for now, I would recommend to bring back the links that open the modals with more details about each subsection of the Technology section. At the moment, the total height of a subsection is 350px. Adding the links would increase it to 400px. That's a small difference for not needing the Technology page at the moment and yet not loosing access to the "more details" modals.

2 years ago Everything I mentioned (except the Technology page) has been fixed.
Something else I noticed is that the mobile performance has fallen by a lot (comparing www2.alephium.org with www.alephium.org)

Certainly because of JS animations for parallax-like effects. ~Or maybe the canvas wave animation (which could def be optimised).~
EDIT1: The absence of the wave animation doesn't change a thing. I'll continue with my quick investigation to find the culprit. (PS: Note that on destkop, our perfs score is 90. But let's try to improve on mobile if possible :))
EDIT2: Removing the parallax effects bumps the mobile score to 89, and the desktop score to 99. I'll make a commit to detect on which platform the site is running, and adapt the effects accordingly.
EDIT3: The performance score is greatly impacted by entry animations & children staggering, which is actually only a "perceived" delay (time to paint is voluntarily increased), not an actual lack of performances. I'm trying to decide which approach is best for mobile, the goal being to achieve the best experience, not the best absolute score.
Achieved scores:
Desktop (with parallax on):
Mobile:

I agree with this suggestion. As I said before, giving access to the old technology page through a "Know more" link would probably confuse users. Re-adding links to open modals make much more sense. Agreed @MaudSimon ?
We'll introduce standalone pages in the v2, when we'll have much more content to share.

2 years ago On Brave macOS, the transition from the second slide to the first is not smooth (no fade-out/in). This is not the case, however, when going from the first to the second.

2 years ago Dear @nop33 & @mvaivre , this is really nice!
It’s fascinating to see Alephium’s image evolve through a series of progressive graphical evolutions. Feels like an adventure! Here’s a few things I noted while looking at it.
Efficiency
Proof of Less Work
Alephium’s PoLW algorithm reduces the energy consumption compared to classical PoW by a factor of almost 90%.
It offers adaptive rewards based on hashrate & timestamp and enables internal mining cost through burning when the hashrate and energy consumption are significantly high.
The exact way in which the PoLW algorithm works depends on the parameters set.
The equilibrium between the miners and the protocol changes dynamically and cannot be determined in advance. However, given the same amount of block rewards and hashrate conditions Alephium uses ⅛ of the energy compared to Bitcoin.
The energy consumption of Bitcoin is approximately linear to the price growth, Alephium is sublinear which allows it to remain under 0.1%.
Smart contract design
Some Numbers
(It would be cool in a subsequent iteration that we can click on each number and get somewhere: for the shards a « shard explorer, for the TH to the chart of evolving hashrate, etc… )
From « We're passionate and committed to outstanding quality in everything we do. We took the necessary time to transform theory into actual technologies. »
to « We're passionate in our work and committed to outstanding quality and measurable results. Here are some of our numbers. »
Ecosystem
Milestones & Roadmap
[ ] Its a detail but I’d suggest to keep a consistent date format: either the month, the day or the quarter, but not all three. (could also be « Jan 2021 - listing »)
[ ] I’m not sure the « first NFT platform to be built on Alephium » is an accurate description. Maybe « Start of… » or « Building begins on… »
Follow us
[x] I’d change the subtitles ever so slightly with « Contribute & Join the community »
[x] I think GitHub is missing here? (I always look for it here, even if it’s already up there)

and I also don't know how to replace the quarter date format in the milestones with a monthly one.

"Building begins on the first NFT platform on Alephium"
and I also don't know how to replace the quarter date format in the milestones with a monthly one.
My suggestion would be to use consistently, but it's not big deal:
March 21 November 22
or
03.21 11.22

@mvaivre
A deep code review isn't necessary for this one IMO. I didn't have the courage to fix ALL the typescript issues, so there are some left.
What is necessary though, is to try this on multiple browser and devices. I'll do a browserstack run on my side ;)
