Sure, I'll bite. Here is the first ever web page in August, 2004 rubygems.org

Image
March 2005. funnily enough, this was only at ; they kept the original page the same docs.rubygems.org
Image
Shortly after, someone DID update the page so pointed to this docs page. the design would stay the same FOR FIVE YEARS

Here's the June 2010 redesign.

One of my favourites. rubygems.org

For those with the eagle-eye. "why does it say July 2009? It was used since 2005!!"

exactamundo. had a migration in July 2009 which means all the "created_at" data can't go further back than that.

Until 2022 when I paired with Nikita Vasilevski on a solution to render version dates predating July 2009.rubygems.orgImage
Image
Finally, after the style @marcoroth_ shared lasted for a fair few years, in 2015 we landed on the style we know and love today. Nearly 10 years old, imagine how many Rubyists have only ever seen this design! Image
