https://roc-lang.org just got a major overhaul - let's share it around! :smiley:

looks like someone has submitted it to Hacker News already - a tip about upvotes on HN: I've heard their "voting ring" detection system penalizes upvotes that result from direct URL visits to the story, so it's better to visit /newest, find the story, and then upvote there

I see someone has already submitted it to lobste.rs as well ;)

I also shared the website on r/functionalprogramming and r/roc-lang :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I thought about r/programming but it may be too off topic for that broad a community.

Great work everyone! It made me really happy to see all the praise for the new website.

I've encountered a small visual bug, in the documentation for builtins/Num, which makes a page horizontally scrollable.
Screenshot was made in Firefox, in case it's browser related, but probably not.

Em, seems like screenshot doesn't show the scrollbar itself, due to my configuration, but it's there when you visit the link.

Here is the markdown doc comment

## Another scenario where [F64] can be a better choice than [Dec] is when representing
## extremely small numbers. The smallest positive [F64] that can be represented without precision
## loss is 2^(−1074), which is about 5 * 10^(-324). Here is that number next to the smallest
## [Dec] that can be represented:

I'm not sure how that is supposed to render in the browser :unsure:

Alright, i've found a source and will send a PR with a fix.

@Luke Boswell it was an easy fix via CSS property.
PR has been sent .
