📄 Description

Summary

Round-2 UX polish pass after a Playwright walkthrough. Three surgical fixes:

# Fix File Why
1 Hero headline hierarchy swap `index.qmd` Tagline was bigger than the memorable slogan; H1/H2 now match visual weight
2 Preview badge: "2026" -> "Fall 2026" `index.qmd` We're in 2026 already — old copy was ambiguous
3 Star-count CTA is honest about what the number is `index.qmd` "learners" was conflated with GitHub stars — now says "stars on GitHub" with a concrete action
4 Six-card milestone roster above "Overview" `milestones/index.qmd` + `style.scss` First-time reader sees 1958-2018 arc at a glance

Before → After copy

  • H1: "Build Your Own ML Framework" (rendered as a big

    ) → "Don't import it. Build it." (real h1, matches pagetitle)

  • Subtitle: (none) → "Build your own ML framework — from tensors to systems."
  • Badge: "Preview · Classroom ready 2026" → "Preview · Classroom ready Fall 2026"
  • Star link: "⭐ {N} learners · every ⭐ helps support free ML education" → "⭐ {N} stars on GitHub — add yours and support free ML education"

Milestone hub — new 6-card roster

The hub previously opened with two prose paragraphs before any concrete listing of the milestones. Now the About-This-Part callout is followed immediately by a 6-card grid: 1958 Perceptron → 1969 XOR Crisis → 1986 MLP Revival → 1998 CNN Revolution → 2017 Transformers → 2018 MLPerf. Color coding mirrors the producing tier (Foundation blue / Architecture purple / Optimization orange) for visual continuity with the rest of the site. Journey table with per-milestone module dependencies stays in place further down.

Deferred (intentionally)

From the same walkthrough, these were flagged as valid but out of scope for this PR:

  • Swap action cards above Module Info on module pages — touches ~20 QMD files; wants a template-level intervention, not ad-hoc rewrites
  • Sticky per-module progress indicator — wants JS + scroll listener
  • Announcement-bar collapse on narrow viewport — JS + cross-site change
  • Olympics "Coming Soon" → dated promise — per user direction, the Olympics launch content is landing in a separate PR in the next few days, so leaving the placeholder as-is

Verification (Playwright)

Home h1          : \"Don't import it. Build it.\" at 42.5px  ✓
Preview badge    : \"Preview · Classroom ready Fall 2026\"   ✓
Star link        : \"⭐ 23,767 stars on GitHub — add yours
                    and support free ML education\"          ✓
Milestone grid   : 6 cards rendered with correct data-era colors
                   foundation  rgb(25, 118, 210)
                   architecture rgb(123, 31, 162)
                   optimization rgb(245, 124, 0)              ✓

Test plan

  • Local `quarto preview` renders home + milestones cleanly
  • Computed styles verified via Playwright
  • Pre-commit passes
  • Post-merge: eye the deployed tinytorch preview + verify mobile rendering of the 6-card grid
