One story from "back in those days"... I worked at a small computer store in 1980/1981, and one of my fellow co-workers submitted a program to one of those magazines, and they printed it!
Well, they mis-printed it, and then mis-printed the correction he sent in :-)
I have toned down the intensity of the yellow background, and increased text contrast. I hope this improves!
I think concise is underrated, not terse necessarily, just minimal code devoid of distracting optimisations and architecture. It's so nice to come across those < 100 line _working_ implementations that you can focus on and internalise as a working model of the algorithm, I've found Rosetta Code a good place to find these (of varying quality though).
I'm not from that era of code listings in magazines but I really like idea and format of your site, earmarked for some bedtime reading :) please write more.
I have a few ideas (http server, text compression, blockchain) but I'd like to hear some from you.
Any preference on what you would like to see in the future?
I hoped to compensate by including plenty of links, and making it easily modifiable. Maybe I should include a comment system?
What about asking questions via GitHub issues? :)
I think the word "provide" should not be there.
Anyway, I think this is a brilliant idea. I don't mind the yellow background but I think the main text font could be darker for better visual contrast. A favicon won't hurt too.
I toned down the color theme, and increased contrast. I did not cache-bust, so you might have to clear your cache. I hope this makes it better!
It may not be as huge in scope, but allow me to plug my own initiative:

I set out to replicate the joy of reading through code listings in old magazines, and present seemingly-complicated problems in a simple and concise way.
Some of the problems I will approach in the future are text and image compression, compilers, chains, http servers, and so on.
I would love if you had a look!
