Some projects treat their official websites as mere decorations, with outdated information and abandoned content, making user visits feel like wandering through ruins. In contrast, some leading projects do things completely differently — their websites become true hubs of the ecosystem.

Here's how they do it:

🔹 **Developer Portal**: Provide clear and detailed technical documentation to lower the barrier to integration
🔹 **New User Portal**: Design intuitive product guides that make the core value instantly understandable
🔹 **Ecosystem Partners**: Publicly showcase collaboration mechanisms and win-win opportunities
🔹 **Community Engagement**: Continuously update blog content to maintain activity and information flow

A website is not just a static display board but a gravitational field connecting the project with users, developers, and partners. An actively maintained website itself tells the story of the project's vitality.

Really, who cares if the official websites are like ghost towns? You can tell if a project is dead or alive just by one website; if it's not updated, you can basically pass. Leading projects treat their official websites as products, and that's what makes them professional.

I see this article is just making a point — official website operation determines the project's life or death. I've said it before, the details reveal the true strength. If some people are still running half-dead websites, then just wait to be eliminated by the market.

statistically speaking, dead websites are just the 2024 equivalent of that one guy holding since $LUNA peaks... both tell the same story about believing in ghosts. history rhymes and all that

theoretically speaking, if we model a website as a recursive interoperability vector connecting n stakeholders... the projects treating docs like afterthoughts are basically admitting their cross-rollup architecture is fundamentally fragile, ngl

Abandoned official websites are really a fatal flaw, as they reflect whether the team truly cares about users. Too many project websites are just a formality, with terrible documentation. Top projects' websites are alive and well, the gap is obvious. No wonder the ecosystem isn't thriving; the infrastructure hasn't been figured out. Projects that continuously iterate on their official websites are definitely worth paying more attention to.

Really, you can tell if a project is serious just by a crappy website. Those projects in the same track with outdated official websites, I just pass. They don't even update their technical documents and still want me to integrate? What a joke.

The project with a ruined official website probably doesn't have a clear understanding of its situation, right? Truly capable projects have long regarded their websites as productivity tools. Let's not always focus on the white paper.

The official website can reflect the project's attitude, and that's true. Abandoned websites are even less useful than floor tiles.

The official website is so bad that even the computing network can't save it. The difference between a poor project and a top project is just this one operational attitude.

I don't look at projects with abandoned official websites.
