> The proposed site is rather visually appealing and I like that you went with the star/Jabbah idea. But useability is an issue with the current iteration. The whiteish font on an muted image background is VERY hard to read. I got around this problem on the Refracta site (which also uses a sky image) like this:

As I scroll down I feel like I'm seeing a scrolling prologue for a 'space' themed movie when all I want is clear information not a Hollywood production.

Thank you very much for this high-quality feedback. Each point is valid
and will provide food for thoughts and enhancements.

After more feedback was provided on IRC, it appears I didn't clearly
mention 2 things :

*# The font Fira is free as in **/libre/**.
    *It was funded by Mozilla and has a free SIL Open Font License
(OFL)  [1] *
*


    /Excerpt: "Font Software released under the OFL complies with the
    // Debian Free Software Guidelines
    <http://www.debian.org/social_contract>/"


*# My work is free as in **/libre.
/*    It's released under CC-BY-SA 4.0 [3]
/    /You can get a copy of the source (vectorial Inkscape PDF & HTML)
on Github[2], fork it, tweak it, test changes, submit them, merge them
at will.
    Note : sadly, there's an itch. The background image source is
probably not CC. Needs to be fixed.
