Looks like the images in the corners (the semicolon in this case) don't
have a transparent background. If they did, then this would be a
straightforward change: the code that does the drawing is in the 'draw'
method in pkgs/gui-pkgs/gui-lib/framework/private/decorated-editor-snip.rkt.

The new design looks good on my iPhone and on desktop. It is a good
improvement over the old site.

HtDP is how I learned to program correctly *after* I got my bachelor's in
CS. I still recommend it to coworkers and other experienced programmers so
they can start to learn good coding habits.

I _really_ like the idea of giving it a fresh redesign and including
more information on the home page.

Typo there. I meant, "One thing I encouraged us to use..." in that
past life. We found it helpful.
(It's not really my role to encourage Racket doing this. Instead I
wanted to point it out as a possible option.)

Can you be more specific, perhaps with a screenshot? I just tried
this with Chromium on Linux and it repositioned just fine.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already (too much to read), but IMHO
the sections are too close to one another. I'd personally add more
padding-top to the h2, even up to 1.5em. Some h2 section headers
(Documentation, Learning, Community) are also too close from their section
body IMO too. At f
