I really dislike the site layout. It makes it quite difficult to read on a desktop computer.
Just scrolling to continue reading steals the article text and replaces it with an animated image or map. I admit it's really pretty, but I care more about the content than the presentation, and the latter makes reading the former difficult.

- kbenson 9y agoWow, that is bad. From your description I assumed it was just a slide up image, but no, it totally hijacks the entire experience, including the scroll wheel. What's more, I tried searching in page for a word ("update") and it took me to some step of the interactive map display. I'm not sure if there's some match that is underneath it all, or search is totally broken. I agree it's pretty, and also agree it's difficult to navigate. :/
