nice, I like it so far!

Indeed there is a lot of text that greets the visitor. Unfortunately, I
am not very good at cutting text, after all, every sentence for itself
has some justification. Tabs might help.

The design is nice. For some reason I find the font a bit less readable
than others, but I can’t really say why. Also, I dislike including
external resources if avoidable (here, Google web fonts). Would it hurt
the design a lot to switch to the defauls sans-serif font?

The „how does it work“ section could be improved in that the example
output corresponds to the example rules.

I’d like to re-order the installation entries to "Hackage, Debian,
Source", skip OS X.

The arbtt mailing list should also be advertised to users somehow.

The link to the documentation needs to be more easily found. Maybe when
you introduce tabs, one of them could just be „Documentation“ and
linking to the documentation?


All in all, a very good start, and only minor polishing needed.

Greetings,
Joachim
