Basic layout changes applied on staging.
We can discuss if the design works, review the texts and push required re-write updates and consider any other suggestions for improvement.

More or less the same comment than the other post: angle too wide for stripes + we barely see the image on top.
For the green foundation badge, the margin on top and bottom are huge (btw, there seems to be an issue with the badge, @muppeth could you check https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/support/why-does-my-website-show-up-as-grey-in-the-green-web-checker/ ?)

As said previously I like the angle so I guess we need to have a mud-fight with @meaz about it hahaha...

As for the badge I saw it some time ago and it seems it is due to the serverius (where we colocate the servers) either changed the way the data about power is pulled from or did not update information. So I don't think we can fix it, I could send email to serverius to see (perhaps they are unaware). And yes the margin is giant. Also i think we should write in that section that "Disroot is using it's own hardware colocated in Serverius datacenters".

I think we should also review the texts on the page so creating cryptpad could be a good idea. For sure we need to at least update disroot team section. We should either just leave the core team or if we want to add others that are active (I do personally thing it's a nice thing to give some shoutout), we should keep it more up to date, add more people and of course redesign that part a bit (perhaps we should link to everyone's fedi account, also add avatars etc).

I commented a bit on cryptpad, but I like the texts as they are.

I removed the DC badge for now. Also added a link to 'read our annual reports' add the bottom. My idea is to remove it from the donate page and instead put a link on about page to another page where all the reports are available, this page still needs to be created, obviously - maybe a grid of thumbnails. I think it fits better here.
I still wonder if we can compress the texts so it is easier to read through. Or maybe just emphasize certain parts of it.
so have a look again to see what else needs to be done.

due to non header there's no padding on top in mobile view.
otherwise looks good to me.
i like the idea to have annual reports in a seperate page.
as noted in another issue, i think i'd add link to it in donate page as well.

I agree with you @antilopa that there is too much texts.

Nice idea. We could then link to that report page onn about but also donate. I think it will be a better Ux as some people might be looking for reports in donation / financial page and some in about. We could show a grid with reports showing the covers

I like the top part of the page. The privacy/federation/transparecy is indeed hard to read. I will try to compress the texts a bit but we could also think if there is a better way to format them.

Basic changes are deployed. We should finalize texts, other languages and other minor details but we could deal with that on separate tickets.
