Getting Plaza was the second-to-last section on Plaza's own page. Somebody who had already decided they wanted it still had to scroll past how the feed works, how the relays are chosen, places, and the performance numbers to reach the one line they came for.

Measured on the built page, 1400x900:

Before After
First install command ~80% down 24% down
Mentioned in the first screen no yes

It now sits directly after the screenshots, which is where somebody decides they want it. The page reads: what it is, what it looks like, how to get it, then everything else.

It is a move and nothing else. Sorting both files line by line gives an identical result, so no sentence changed: the ad-hoc signing paragraph, the build-from-source steps, the Linux requirements and the font caveat all read exactly as they did. One thing improves for free: the caveat about non-Latin scripts on Linux now lands before somebody runs the Linux installer rather than after.

The intro carries one line pointing at it, so the first screen says an install exists without repeating the command. Deliberately a link and not a second copy of the curl line: one copy of a command is one thing to keep right, and this week has been a run of things that were correct once and drifted.

Checked in a browser rather than assumed: the anchor resolves (#getting-it exists and the link scrolls to it), and npm run build is clean.

Getting Plaza was the second-to-last thing on its own page, about eighty per
cent of the way down, behind everything about how the feed works and how fast
it is. Somebody who had already decided still had to scroll past all of it to
find the one line they came for.

That is a move and nothing else, so the section reads exactly as it did,
including the ad-hoc signing paragraph and the Linux requirements. The Linux
font caveat lands before an install rather than after one, which is the better
side of that press.

The intro also carries one line pointing at it, so the first screen says the
install exists without repeating the command. One copy of a command is one
thing to keep right.
