Article contents are very helpful, but why use 256 colors in illustrations? It makes illustrations look ugly, for example: https://www.haiku-os.org/files/blog/apl/repository_identification/hd-from-hds.png.

Thanks. I’m using the low BPP images because they are smaller causing reduced storage overhead and reduced transmission overhead. The same information is conveyed.

Great read, and nice and clean design and order.
Very helpful and informativ.
This article will help some user to understand what’s going on within the Repository and HaikuDepot.
For the illustration, I like it because the reader is focused to the Information and not distracted by the graphic.
