An improvement suggestion: it would be nice to spot the difference easier between two/more Vaadin versions. One idea could be to have the items display differently when the versions are same:

Maybe there could be a enable diff checkbox etc. to toggle this behavior.

General Availability (GA for short) usually means the first stable release (excluding prereleases like alpha, beta, rc).

Now it shows:

For example now for "Vaadin 14.2" the page says that GA was "December 4, 2019 (4 months ago)" which doesn't make sense since there is no 14.2.0 GA release yet but only some alpha releases.

I guess the other dates are also calculated based on first public prerelease? Though I think it would make more sense to calculate all those dates based on the date of the first public stable release (version without a prerelease label like alpha/beta/rc) of the related platform minor. Eg. 14.2.0, 14.1.0, 15.0.0

Imo right now the GA field for 14.2 should be empty (or showing an estimated future date for 14.2.0 release).

Sometimes it can be slow to update (e.g. if you're on slow connection) when you select a platform version for a column you can't see if it's still loading info or is it showing wrong info (of previously selected version) before it has updated so it's hard to see has the info been loaded or not (especially when you switch between versions that don't have many differences).

It would be much better if it would clear the old info from the column immediately when you select a new version for the column. Then you would clearly see when the new info has loaded.

Maybe include an additional loading indicator for a column (or a global loading indicator to show if some data is still loading).

Especially for LTS users it might make sense to have some overview which components update are possible to use.
