Muxer and Labs, redesigned

Today we're shipping a redesign of muxer.org and muxer.org/labs. The surface-level changes are visible immediately — new themes, cleaner layout, sharper copy. The less visible ones matter just as much: we've fixed a handful of persistent hosting issues and brought the information on both pages in line with where the product actually is today.

The old site was a snapshot of Muxer at a much earlier stage. This update closes that gap.

What changed

Here's a quick rundown of everything that landed in this update, across both the main site and Labs.

Design · muxer.org & /labs Overhauled theming across both pages — tighter color system, better contrast, and a visual language that's more consistent with the rest of the Anonymux family. Dark mode no longer feels like an afterthought.

Content · muxer.org Rewrote most of the marketing copy to reflect current features and positioning. The old site described things that had since changed or shipped differently. This version is accurate.

Hosting · Infrastructure Fixed internal routing issues and resolved a cache configuration problem that was causing edge cache misses more often than expected.

Redesign · muxer.org/labs The old Labs page was largely empty — most of the content area was blank whitespace with very little to show. The redesign gives it an actual layout worth visiting.

On the theming work

The colors themselves haven't changed — this isn't a palette swap. What changed is how theming is structured underneath. The previous implementation was relatively flat: a handful of variables applied inconsistently across components, with some values hardcoded in places they shouldn't have been. The new system is more layered, with a proper token hierarchy that separates base values, semantic roles, and component-level overrides.

In practice this means themes can be more expressive without requiring per-component edits, and future changes will propagate correctly rather than needing to be patched in multiple places. It also sets up the groundwork for things we want to do with theming down the line.

On the information update

Honest product pages are harder to maintain than they look. Features move faster than copy does, and the gap between what a page says and what the product does tends to widen quietly. We audited every claim on muxer.org and brought it in line with the current state of the product — what's available, how it works, and what's still in progress.

The Labs page specifically had grown stale. Several projects listed there had either graduated, been deprecated, or changed scope entirely. The updated page reflects the actual current state of what's being worked on.

The hosting fixes

This one is internal plumbing rather than anything user-visible. We resolved a routing misconfiguration and fixed a caching issue that was causing more edge cache misses than expected. One of wich was causing outward symptoms, but both were worth cleaning up.

What's next

There's more coming to Muxer on the product side — we'll write about it here when it's ready to ship.

In the meantime, muxer.org is live with all of the above. If you spot anything broken or out of date, the usual channels apply.
