# STRUCT Static Site Improvement Plan

## πŸ“Š Current State Analysis

### βœ… What's Working Well

- Clean, dark theme that fits developer tools aesthetic
- Basic responsive design with mobile viewport meta tag
- Google Analytics integration (GTM)
- Font Awesome icons for visual appeal
- Simple, focused messaging
- PayPal donation integration

### ❌ Areas for Improvement

- **Limited Visual Appeal**: No hero section, animations, or modern design elements
- **Missing Key Content**: No installation guide, examples, or getting started section
- **No Interactive Elements**: Static content with no engagement features
- **Basic Typography**: Plain Arial font, limited visual hierarchy
- **Missing Social Proof**: No GitHub stats, testimonials, or showcase
- **No Demo Integration**: VHS tapes we created aren't showcased
- **Limited SEO**: Basic meta tags, no Open Graph or structured data
- **Basic Navigation**: Single page with no clear content organization

forks: data.forks_count,
openIssues: data.open_issues_count
};
}

// Demo Carousel
class DemoCarousel {
constructor(element) {
this.element = element;
this.demos = [
