dlang-tour
show download instructions based on OS

- will help to clean-up the huge mess on page 2
- for false-positives we can have a small button "show all"
Also using nice icons (eye candy), might increase the user flux.

I'd rather favor a clean download page which makes clear what to do for each platform. Otherwise we end up having logic in the content..
Well it could be done via Javascript that operates on div ids, but I agree that this feature is controversial.
FYI: there has been a recent PR at dlang.org that adds this OS detection to the frontpage
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1437
Maybe we could use our new macro tags to separate the logic from the content?

Yes, but as far I understand, the detection still has to be done via JS? Though, I'm not familiar with macro tags. Where can I read more, see examples, etc. ?
It had been developed very recently, but this
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#custom-mustache-macros
Is probably the best place

Have a look at https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and the Custom Mustache macro section

Also please see our point from the First 5 minutes session.
First steps shouldn't be about compiling b/c you can just run the examples in the browser. Installation should be handled by dlang.org, maybe just append a transition from the tour to using D on your own machine.
From our perspective it would make more sense to just have a small hint (link to download page) on how to install a D compiler. But of course dlang's download page leaves open many questions that you're trying to address in Install D locally. What we need for dlang is a good landing page after downloading something. We still have the old platform pages, e.g. DMD Compiler for Linux, but they're a mess.
