Should this also update https://www.mudlet.org/about/ ?

[vadi2]

Just looking to focus on the README for now, but if someone wants to tackle /about that'd be great too

[Kebap]

I don't get the "You may also like" section at all. Was looking at an old commit there.

Also, maybe link to wiki as well? Not only forums.

[vadi2]

That section is now gone, that was a copy/paste error. I'll add a link to the manual.

Feedback applied.

Looks good to me

There are quite a few pictures in the slideshow here, which are not shown on mudlet.org currently - Is that intended?

I would rephrase the "Explain?" into "Please explain in more detail?"

In the "How to Use" section - would you pick a profile name, before entering the connection details?
Also put the brackets in a new line (without increasing count there)

You have appended the three OS in the same line, but also added a new line. In effect you still have a long linear list of items and only the last item has only a single sub-item on a new level. This still looks unsteady. Either move it up a level (preferred), or put the list of OS back down a level. I think it merits a sub list, as these are actually multiple features: 1) Mudlet does run on different OS fine and 2) Scripts created on one OS can be used unchanged on another OS

In the key feature "Open-source and Free" why do you capitalise free? Also there is some ambiguity in the word "free" which can refer to cost or liberty or both. Maybe best to reorder this bullet point to Free and open-source

In the last very short paragraph "Licence" maybe link to GPL2+ too?

They are on mudlet.org/media

This kills any excitement one would have about it...

That's why it's capitalised, because it is both.

It looks fine to me, this looks like a personal preference that we can go back and forth on forever. I've taken out the sub-item.
