This project is really in early stage, but I would like to get feedback on this early to see if it is worth to keep working on it. Thank you for any feedback!

It looks great! I never really used Javadoc so please see this as a total outside feedback. I like the modern look, lighthouse is almost perfect in accessibility which is great (the only point lighthouse complains about it the contrast of links). It's also good on performance (80/100).

I have one confusion about the name, I'm used to the web frontend world where "ng" is usually something related to angular but it seems that it isn't the case here. I'm curious to know what's the origin of the name.

Thanks, your feedback is nevertheless appreciated. Lighthouse points out some things that can be easily addressed and some of those things certainly should be fixed. I did not use such a tool on the site before and now it seems obvious to do it!

"ng" is short for "next generation". Not sure if this is a good name for the project after all.
