The Iridium website and logo look so professional and "enterprisey" that it looks like there's lots of money behind of it and they're going to screw you. A barebones or even text-only website would do them a favour.


I don't think that's a fair assessment. The web site (https://iridiumbrowser.de/) is nearly on par with the web sites for other big open source projects like http://python.org or http://ruby-lang.org .

I think it just needs minor tweaks. I would replace the marquee with static text and replace the section title "Manifest" with something clearer like "Our Purpose" or "Our Ambition".


I clicked on the Iridium website and I only see one line of text in uppercase. It has nothing to do with Python's or Ruby's.

The Iridium website gives me the impression I'm downloading something akin to Comodo's browser.

And it's constructive criticism anyway.


I don't get that sense at all. Looks like a generic "techy" Wordpress theme.


I was curious what the site looked like, so I opened it.

Okay, I've seen worse desig--WHAT?! Wow, a marquee! Nice.
