> The homepage is basically a book you have to read from top to bottom, without any content structure your eyes can hook up to to correctly extract important information.

Are you talking about this page? https://sourcehut.org/

It seems like the opposite to me, each feature has a big heading that you can quickly read to get an overview of all the features, with smaller, more detailed descriptions below.
