Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the current solidjs.com and docs.solidjs.com entry points, then clarify the intended modernized layout and separation between showcase content and documentation. Done means the scope is agreed and the corresponding website changes are implemented.

Description

SolidJS is truly an excellent framework. Our team especially loves createSignal and createStore. After rewriting our project from React to SolidJS, we were able to remove many dependencies, including Zustand and React Router. Overall, the experience has been great.

The only downside is the relatively limited ecosystem—there aren’t enough actively maintained libraries to choose from. In some cases, we’ve had to look for alternatives or even rewrite certain dependencies ourselves.

Additionally, the current SolidJS website feels somewhat cluttered. A cleaner and more modern design would make it more appealing and accessible to new users. It might be worth taking inspiration from projects like React and Vite.

I suggest positioning solidjs.com primarily as a showcase for SolidJS features, advantages, and related projects, while docs.solidjs.com could focus exclusively on documentation.
