Replaced references to Aider with "cecli" on website
There is a chance that there are still some lingering "Aider" references, but the cohesion of the whole website with the project has vastly improved.
Certain sections were changed to add context, but not deleted, including the user testimonials section and "history.md"
Notably, homepage.py was modified to count cecli-dev package downloads rather than aider-install, and to track stars on the cecli repo, not Aiders.
The "singularity" percent (amount of the codebase written by aider each release) has been removed, for the time being, as well as the openrouter rank, which is long outdated even on Aider's website.
I don't have any experience with the python framework that is being used to generate parts of these pages, so when I saw that the changes to homepage.py apparently weren't enough to enact the changes I wanted to see in the badge section, I just added an inline CSS property to the div element containing the badges to set
visibility: hidden.We can bring those back / fix them, but more importantly, the incorrect information and Aider references are gone.
What still needs to be done
The Aider logo on the website must be replaced. I have intentionally left it for now, because renovating the site text was the more time consuming issue anyways, and I think some discussion is in order about what we adopt as the new logo.
