New Website, Logo, Playground etc

[phpnode]

The website is based on the original pegjs.org site and it's pretty dated, it would be nice to have a new site with some better branding. It's also an opportunity to introduce a nicer playground experience which is really important for people new to the project (and also for people not so new to it). TypeScript, ASTExplorer, Babel all have pretty nice playgrounds that we can draw inspiration from.

I converted this to a discussion, because I think it will end up being project-sized.

Also we should consider to switch to some static site generator instead of manually edit docs/documentation.html

I've made a monaco-based alternative to /online page, and probably could take part in this.

Really glad to see pegjs is moving forward, and keep on coming with peggy!
Switch to peggy now.
You all make great works. Thanks.

Do you want a logo? I can see if I can make something. I'm a developer but I sometimes design logos and logotypes. I don't do that professionally because I do not always come up with a good design.

Here are a few of my logos: https://jakub.jankiewicz.org/logo.php

That sounds like fun! Sure, let's see what you come up with.

Oh wow, those logos look really good!

[jcubic]

I came up with a few designs, I was thinking about what image the parser generator should have and I only came up with Cog Wheel so all logos are based on that. The last one was my attempt to create P out of Cog wheel but it doesn't look very good.

I like the second just fine. I wonder if there's anything you can do with {} in there...

[jcubic]

Do you mean like { P } characters?

[hildjj]

Maybe. What if the {} were elongated horizontally into something close to a circle, and used as the inside surface of the gear. They could just be negative space, for instance.

[jcubic]

For me, it doesn't look good. Curly brackets don't match the gear. But I can see if I can use just the curly brackets, it was my original idea but I actually didn't use it.

I defer to your expertise.
