Why did you remove Gingerbread? It's one of the most interesting projects made with FreeCad. https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=845969#p845969

I wanted to add somewhere screenshots of application. And in my opinion it doesnt fit into that section where it was.

I want to create small section for "Made with FreeCAD" - show interesting projects - I will add it there.

Isn't this the task of the main page? There is already a distinction between features and the home page. While the homepage is more about the interesting things that can be achieved or achieved, the features should show the general features as you said.

Hi @andrejvysny Nice work and refresh of the current website!

As you have seen (given your fork of FreeCAD-website) the current website is going to be replaced by a new unified website (with the addition of the news blog and the dev handbook) using a static base and a CMS.

Would you be interested in collaborating for this new evolution? There is still plenty stuff to do (e.g. style and design, homepage and features page content, etc.) 😉 Some of your modifications here could even be ported there if you wanted to.

Let us know what interests you most! You can reach out here, forum or discord. TIA!
