I think this is very clever and I appreciate the work you've done to make it so robust. I'm not a designer, but I like to think I can appreciate at least some of really good work. Your pages qualify there.

One note on your before and after, it's cool that you included arabic, but the right to left nature makes it look like the examples are reversed. Though I realize perhaps that was intentional.

Thanks!

Ha! Yeah, my co-founder and I debated that one... (he thought I should reverse it). I can see it both ways, but your comment certainly puts another vote in the reverse-it column. Thanks again :)

I was about to send a PR for the reverse; then I realised what language it is. Perhaps having the columns not centered but reading-direction-aligned would make it clearer. Not sure there. But I'd keep it that way, it's rare enough that people treat RTL languages properly when they don't know them ;)
