Minor Prometheus landing page facelift?

[Julius Volz]

Hi,

The Prometheus homepage (prometheus.io) looks very dated by now, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns off a lot of first-time visitors just by its looks. While I don't have the capacity to make this another major project at the moment, in lieu of a more extensive docs & homepage rework, what do people think about me just working to update the design of the landing page to make it look at least slightly more modern? I was thinking of this kind of direction (just a start):

https://prometheus-new.netlify.app/

(user logos are blurry because many never provided us SVGs - this would have to be fixed)

This would mainly change the landing page, although of course the fonts and a few styles would also have to be updated on other pages to make them consistent. But that should stay a minor change.

I built the quick demo above using a more modern tech stack (Mantine, React + JSX, etc.) than our homepage, but I could try to backport the same styles to our old homepage framework with pure HTML + CSS. Eventually it would be really nice to port the homepage to a less medieval static site builder, but that's a much much larger project.

Cheers,

Julius

Love the idea!

The 3.0 UI revamp followed by an UI revamp of the docs site would feel like a breadth of fresh air! I'm sure some future users will appreciate it as well as existing ones seeing the changes.

I do like the proposed design and went to check others for commonly stablished dbs such as postgres or new hyped vector ones like pinecone and your proposed design seems to me to be already in par with them.

Regards

Thanks! Yeah, I mean Postgres is super old-school, maybe not the best comparison actually 😅 But yeah! And of course we're not going to try and compete with the super hip custom-designed startup websites that cost $80k to make. But hopefully an improvement.

Ok let's see if anyone has big complaints, otherwise in a week or so I'll give it a more serious go.
