Re: New DUB documentation
Also it's a good idea to maintain the same style as dlang forum and dlang website, along with dlang tour and online dlang editor. The dlang webdesign choice feels really solid and robust. At least from my perspective. If someone needed a dark theme dub documentation. A simple button to toggle it would have been enough. Small tweaks for layout and small tweaks overall for more professional look and efficiency of use. Would have been enough.
Re: New DUB documentation
The new DUB documentation feels less efficient for use. First impression: headache. If the content is improved and refined, then yeah that's welcoming, a good thing and well done. But overall use, it just feels like trying to be modern without being clever and usable. I think the previous design was better, more user-friendly, even if looked worse. Darker blending indistinct colors (dark red, dark background), way smaller fonts. ![](https://i.imgur.com/2p0bk70.png) Gray headers on gray background. ![](https://i.imgur.com/STpd64a.png) The link colors are giving headaches too. But that might be only for me right now.

The Matrix space is accessible via [#dlang:m.wfr.moe](https://matrix.to/#/#dlang:m.wfr.moe) or if your Matrix client does not yet support the spaces feature you can join the individual rooms by browsing the `m.wfr.moe` Room Directory. The bridge is now also self-hosted and limited to just the D discord, so it's a lot quicker than the previous solution, although the previous solution is still in place for the existing channels and will be migrated later. ![matrix screenshot](https://wfr.moe/f6iZwQ.png) why are you guys using matrix over discord? Discord is getting more and more monetized and is completely closed source. Matrix is not really that great, but it's better than a Discord if you are looking for something more futureproof. Personally all the times I tried Matrix, I didn't like the frontend web clients. They do feel incomplete and inconvenient. However now I just stumbled upon this client and maybe it looks somewhat promising https://cinny.in/

This is useful if you need to write cross-platform applications which e.g. read/write BMP or PE files. More details in the README: https://github.com/CyberShadow/win32#readme Someone should test this and make a quick tutorial by putting this in practice. Really awesome, Vlad.
