Regarding Karl's video on "The Texts" slide. Since this is the realm of the beginner, it might be helpful to have a summary of what Karl talks about or something to help contextualize the video. When I started watching the video, I was slightly disoriented until I caught up to what he was talking about. To have some text that prepared me for it and summarized what he said would be vaulable. +

The Access this text online link for "The Buddhist Canons Research Database" takes you to an empty search box the first time I clicked on it. Is there a way to make it link directly to the text.? (Like all of the other links do) +

I just went through the Discover section and got fairly disoriented. For me, I think the biggest problem was when links on pages took you to a new tab or replaced the tab you are on. I really wasn't able to determine a reason for one or the other. So, after following a trail of links, it was often not easy to find my way back to where I had started. Sometimes it was the back button, sometimes it was a different tab. One suggestion that I have is that when you are on a discover page with Slide menu bar on the bottom, the links from those pages should always take you to another tab. That way, the "Discover" portion of the trail is always still there. It's easy to always get back to where you started.
Additionally, I think the placement of the Explore More box with the word "Continue" on it is oddly placed. It's placement between the end of a slide's content and the Slide Bar was disorienting at first. At first I expected it to explore more of the topic I had just finished reading, but it doesn't. I think it hinders the smooth movement from slide to slide. I think the word "continue" should be removed, because it doesn't really feel like it continues. Going to the next slide would feel like a continuation. Finally, the content that is found down there doesn't seem at first glance to be helpful in moving someone from the beginning of interest in BN to the deeper exploration. Maybe I don't know the reason for this section. +
Quotes move a little fast - H.H. The Dalai Lama's image does not appear in the circle. +
I think the Tibetan looks nice under study, but I think you need to have Ratnagotravibhāga in that tile. I know it messes with the two line aesthetic if you want to keep both, but it's a multilingual page and only somebody who reads Tibetan will know which root verses its refers to. And then maybe on the root verse page, instead of Pinyin we should include the French title. +
Several times recently I have tried the “advanced search” function to look for short phrases like ཆོས་ལ་དམིགས་པའི་སྙིང་རྗེ་ however the results include all pages with all the syllables and do not show only pages with the entire phrase. I am using an iPad with safari browser. +
the essay tabs/icons in the middle of the page should be well aligned? +
The first two paragraphs (Your BN and What Then?) start with a normal uppercase letter but this paragraph starts with a drop cap. Maybe you want to have the same style everywhere? +
