Website feedback: Supported languages is the #1 most important piece of info about this software. It should be front and center and probably repeated a few times already on the landing page.

View on HN

This may be a result of your feedback, but for me looking just now it it front and center: "Sourcetrail - A cross platform source explorer for C/C++ and Java"

Although physically front and center, the fact that that line is nearly the smallest thing on the page caused me to gloss over it entirely my first time through.

I didn't see it either. Was about to ask if it'll work for Rails projects haha

Haha there it is. Who said whining on HN doesn't change the world.

That honor goes to melling: >Some guy whining on HN about a first generation product adds zero value.

it should be in a bigger font, and it seems like it's the only place where language compatibility is clearly visible without going into the documentation.

If I could upvote you more than once; I would.

I left the site not really knowing what language/s are supported.

After digging through the entire page it looks like maybe C/C++/Java?

There should be a huge button, or something, front, and center. <<SUPPORTED LANGUAGES>>

Looks like a cool idea, but I don't know if I can even utilize this tool.

I'd suggest second most important piece of info is probably supported editors.
