Did someone proof-read https://nextcloud.com/Devices/ ?
In every section, at the end there are some words that don’t make sense, like “Enterprise Community Official” “Managed Commercial Community”…
Also, the very first item you list on the page devices is not a device but software, and the link doesn’t bring you to a page where you can buy a device, but to documentation of software. → Make it more clear and visible how to get a device with TrueNas. Maybe this should not be the first item on the list.
IMO all the links should take you directly to the place where you can buy a reliable device. Some of the options should not be on this page, or be in a separate section of “coming soon”, e.g. Turris MOX: Cloud (please check all of them).
Today, I re-checked this. The URL for the Postcast-MP3-feed works fine, but the feed itself is not up-to-date. It does not include the latest episode17 “Interview with Matthieu Gallien, Senior Software Engineer at Nextcloud”, which is available via website.
Is there a language switcher?
Haven’t seen one and hopefully disabled all related blockers.
Tried to add language to URL e.g. https://nextcloud.com/de/ but without success.

The button “Try Nextcloud now” does not work.
I get always the user “fXyk2DziMHpQC2QX”.
Why not link direkt to https://try.nextcloud.com
there used to be https://nextcloud.com/contribute/design/ now it shows a 404, should redirect to https://nextcloud.com/design/
Also, in the 404 error page that I get when clicking on the link above, the menu at the top is not readable (white on white), Firefox 100.0.2
Also, in https://nextcloud.com/design/ all the links are missing, compare Design – Nextcloud
Whereever I look I find problems. Seriously, did someone proofread all the pages and look for regressions from the old version?
I think that if you ask for our help/feedback, it is justified that I get an answer to this question.

in https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients all the additional apps are hidden unter “Nextcloud Talk”.
There should be a third dropdown item “more mobile apps” instead.
Hello @jospoortvliet ,
you asked for feedback and nearly 30 answers had been written.
Would you please provide feedback to what has be done already?
Cheers

We are slowly but surely fixing all issues one by one
Yes, that is very good. But feedback would be good as well. Maybe we better use GitHub for it. Single issue for each point and using a label like “WebsiteRelaunch2022”
@Daphne or @jospoortvliet I would still like to get an answer to this:
Because to me it looks like you didn’t review the new website enough before making it live, delegating the testing to the (unpaid) community. But my impression might be wrong?!

Why? Because you want to be able to say: “I told you so?” I think it’s clear to everyone that probably a few shortcuts were taken in order to get the new site live for the release of NC24. 
And yes there was obviously not enough testing before simply switching to the new site. But looking for someone to blame here and taking Nextcloud GmbH to trial, so to speak, doesn’t help anybody, does it?

I don’t want to blame anybody. I would just like to have some open communication between Nextcloud GmbH and the community.
Personally, I would not do a relaunch of the website if there are problems on almost every page, I would delay the relaunch. Maybe put the draft website on a testing-domain and ask the community for feedback. But launching a website with so many problems and then asking the community for feedback seems odd, I just wanted an explanation. Yes, the first post talked about “kinks”, but to me it seems to be more than kinks:
Someone from Nextcloud GmbH already reached out to me, I asked this person if it is possible that they share some of the background publicly. Of course, if I am the only one who wanted to know, then we can stop here. I have no more questions and I am not mad at anybody/blaming anybody.

@alexanderdd , you aren’t the only one, who wants to know, how this disaster happened.
It nearly turned me off from installing Nextcloud again and got me looking at other self hosted solution to sync the family calendars.
Maybe the management of Nextcloud GmbH let the intern or a junior level employee handle the website launch but this has a very unprofessional smell about it and I just hope, it isn’t reflected in the main product. Nextcloud isn’t a small open source project any more, it’s a GmbH with government contracts!
I work in IT and if we would do releases of applications and websites with this level of testing and QA, it would generate a major backlash. We, in this thread, aren’t bound to Nextcloud GmbH and can use other Solutions but the employees at my workplace have no choice and will get very vocal so I implore Nextcloud GmbH to take the feedback in this thread seriously.
But whatever you decide to change or not, for gods sake, at least run a spider over the website to find and fix the broken links, before the next release!

Could we please handle the Relaunch-incident as a fail and put all the discussions to rest?
It’s not the first relaunch that failed and it won’t be the last. I saw bigger companies failing with the same task.
Asking for reasons is understandable but even if we’ll get to know why this or that happened/didn’t happen it won’t get us, personally, any forward or any more additional help in understanding.
Shit happens. That’s just it.
Everybody knows that it was a fail and now they need to elimante all problems step by step.
I’d like to end all discussions with my comment here. There’s nothing more to add to it.
