Pretty useful. Suggestion based on me looking at this on a phone (I'm unsure how this looks on desktop!) - left align the titles and the copy for each section. Would make the list much easier to scan. Well done for releasing!

Also make the text a hyperlink, in honor of the 30 year anniversary of this hypertext platform, rather than sticking a small link icon to the side that's an inconvenient click target.
Readability could go a long way on desktop.

Advice:

- Make two text columns vertically.

- Chose better colours. Either learn colour readability, or pick a palette from a generator.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, they are all very good ideas for improvement, I'm not really a front-end guy. I thought about making columns but this would probably affect the readability. Hyperlink idea: especially good considering the anniversary :)
Agree, on the desktop the readability is also quite poor. And you seem to have some issues in the CSS, as gigantic icons appear while loading.

Keep it simple, align to the left and put some margins to center the content.
