The ToH has served us well. Its database of information about devices is invaluable. The new JSON facility provides real-time filtering which dramatically improves its user experience.
However, the top-level Supported Devices page is no longer helpful. It has big warnings for things like 4/32 devices that are no longer relevant; it dwells on "General Requirements"; it has general housekeeping things (CSV dumps).
And if you look hard enough, you can find a link to a page that will let you see if your router is supported by OpenWrt.
My proposal: I have created a draft ToH main page that could become the top-level "Supported Devices" page. It has these attributes:
It features the Table of Hardware
This draft only lists devices that support the current 23.05
I like it, I think these are useful changes for the better.
I think it should also prominently feature a link to https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ for users who stumble upon the (new) ToH, but could find what they need using a much simpler interface
Could be even closer to the top, as an eye-catcher (people who are there for the ToH will know to mentally skip it on their second to third visit ;)) for the uninitiated - but it's definitely the right direction imho!
Perhaps the supported version column should link to that version on firmware-selector ?
I don't think most people are interested in reading the release highlights...
