Comment (by Joen):

 Appreciate all the design iterations that have gone in here.

 As designers it's important for us to sometimes accept the fact that the
 best work we do is invisible, it communicates and conveys a purpose, and
 maybe it falls into the background as a result. This is especially the
 case with the highlight grid, which exists purely to showcase the features
 of a release, not to be a branding item on its own. This is also the case
 for the About page, whose primary goal is to convey what's new in a
 glancable form. Our task from design here is sometimes disappointing, it
 is simply to work on communicating these pieces.

 To that end, there's nice work gone into the various sections highlighting
 each feature. The screenshots are compelling, the layout is clear, and
 there is no noise to distract.

 There is room for flavor, to be sure, that flavor can also be minimalism.
 To that end, I would think the latest design shared works well, and also
 say thank you to Rich and Benjamin for their work here.
