Re: [website-dev] too many download areas?

Hello Kay,

so you don't mean the JS stuff that is different but he HTML coding, 
right? Of course it could be changed in a way that only one styling is 
used on both webpages or the www... part is linking to download...

But honesty, from the perspective of a normal user I like the very easy 
way to download the pre-guessed build from the www... part without to 
digging deeper on the website or to choose something on the "other.html" 
webpage.

I don't know if we want to loose this nice piece of comfort for the 
user. What do other people think of this?

Best regards

Marcus
