Add images to the Tour
From @wilzbach on June 10, 2016 23:7
I personally love images & I think there are many studies that show that this is a general fact (visual learning is a lot easier for us humans).
Anyway there are a couple of ideas how we could add images to the DLang Tour
- Add brand images like the DMan

There are more those lovely D mascot drawing, like this one for Assembler:

- Add more icons (e.g. FontAwesome)
I am not sure yet how we could do that, but it's worthwhile to think about it
- Add related images (most important)
E.g. for Caesor encryption we could show an image like this:

meiz_sandwich sent me his collection of D-mans (> 200!). I uploaded them on Github and he gave us the permission to use them. So let's prettify the DLang Tour with them ;-)
I opened PRs for a couple of them to dlang.org. I think some of them would fit to the tour as well.
In any case we should try to avoid such such needed "hacks" between the mobile and desktop site as I did for the frontpage. I don't think this will be an issue for upcoming images, because the problem on the frontpage was the bullet lists which we so far don't have on (any?) other page.
