This is absolutely fine: a creator who has no ‘style’ will not only fail to care enough to create a quality landing page for their creations, but it’s quite likely that the creation itself will have no style as well.

That means, for you… difficult-to-use APIs, obtuse / nonexistent documentation, a lack of quality (if any) support… the list goes on; and worst of all, it will likely attract a user community of the same type of people, leaving you with an extensions/libraries/modules ecosystem with exactly the same problems in abundance.

The spices, my friend, are what matters. (Also, I personally see a very close correlation between when the current, beautiful, website was contributed to Ryah’s work, and when it took off and gained massive “popularity.” Coincidence? No.)




Oh, and on that same topic; as a personal friend of the creator of this library, I can very very much vouch for his sense of style. ;D


Well put, mister!
