A new website and a new logo

We rebuilt noix.dev. More room for every project, honest comparisons with other tools, and finally a place for news.

by NoiXdev

Our old website was built quickly and did its job. It was also pretty bare. If you landed on a project page, you got a list of features and had to work out yourself whether the tool was right for you. That’s what we changed.

What’s new

Every project answers the important questions first. What is it? Who is it for? What does it run on? What does it cost? The answers sit right at the top, before any details.

Honest comparisons. Almost every project has well-known alternatives, and many of them are really good. So now they sit in a table next to our tool. We also write down when you’d be better off with something else. If you spot a mistake in a comparison, please tell us. We’re happy to fix it.

The logbook. From now on we write down what we shipped and what we were thinking. Releases, new projects and the occasional thought. If you don’t want to miss anything, subscribe to the RSS feed.

The X in NoiXdev is now two lines that cross. One for each of us. Where they meet, one runs over the other with a small gap in between. They stay two lines, even though together they make one sign. That’s how we work, too.

The About page shows which line belongs to whom.

What stayed the same

Every project is still open source and free. None of them needs an account with us. And the website now serves its own fonts instead of fetching them from someone else’s servers.
