Thanks for the feedback, the web UI does have a gallery link [0] with a few interactive examples [1]. I agree though, a screenshot like this would be a good addition to the homepage.

I don't think that first image helps but that second image is great. That gets me excited and makes it look intuitive. Seriously, put that on the landing page.

Edit: Also that first example (from [1]) doesn't work for me

In[1]:= 1 + 2 - x * 3 x / y

Out[1]= 3 - 3 x ^ 2 / y

Is this a difference in the cli? I also notice I can't get any graphics there. No connection to matplotlib?

In[3]:= Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x], Tan[x]}, {x, -3Pi, 3Pi}]

Out[3]= -Graphics-

Thanks a lot for your great work! I installed mathics locally and the translate/sierpinski examples from the gallery don't seem to work. Do you have an idea why?
I ran it on my own linux box. Thanks for this work! Suggestions:

1. host those images some where else than on pastebin, it's too slow to see them on your github page. Try anywhere else. 2. your instructions should tell the exact command to run it after installing it with pip on linux too, like you do on windows.
