About the quality of the images, it's on purpose:

> By dithering, we can make images ten times less resource-intensive, even though they are displayed much larger than on the old website.

This is needed because the website is solar-powered and self-hosted on low-tech hardware, read more here:

I just took the original first image from the article and compressed it to a 37k JPEG, the same size as the dithered image, and it looks a lot better. They must be considering resources to display the image, not just file size and network bandwidth.
