Hi all, Happy to share that I’ve largely completed a refresh of the BifroMQ website. The changes have already been merged into the repository, and anyone interested is welcome to pull the latest version locally to preview.
Our hope is to have this refreshed site go live together with our first Apache incubator release. The main work includes: *- Rebuilding on the latest Docusaurus version* The site was cleaned up and rebuilt from scratch to remove some previously tricky configurations that were introduced to accommodate legacy plugins. *- A new visual theme and design language* Both light and dark themes are updated. The overall design follows a “less is more” approach inspired by International Typographic Style (Swiss Design). *- Subtle branding details* Inspired by the origin of the project name, some accent colors and visual cues are derived from the concept of Bifrost. *- Various small refinements* Including typography, spacing, and layout adjustments. For those interested, the details can be found in the commit history. This refresh is intentionally focused on look-and-feel and structure, and should be orthogonal to any ongoing or upcoming documentation content updates. Happy to discuss or iterate further if there are questions or feedback.
