  https://animejs.com/

  This is a js animation library so there may be some home advantage but very well made nontheless.

  HAProxy, specifically the docs site, make a fantastic job of making the vast documentation accessible and navigable.

  https://docs.haproxy.org/2.4/configuration.html

  https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/haproxy-configuration-...

  I see now there is a Beta of a newer design of the docs at .com which, looking at it now, I hope they just scrap.

  Can we get a shout out to all the projects that are just barebones 90s style HTML?

  Fast loading, clean design, right to the point.

  Contrast that with say, Parrot Security: https://www.parrotsec.org/

  Now, the design itself is nice. Prominent download button, some marketing copy, then documentation etc... but only if I enable JS -- otherwise, just a blank page.

  Maybe I'm paranoid or crazy, but I prefer to give JS out as little as possible. I appreciate when folks like paulg design a site like HN so that I can access the core functionality without JS.

  https://charm.land/ who make "glamorous" Go libraries for writing pretty command-line tools.
