Cool project! I've thought about this before and ended up making throw away accounts. I really like this approach though.

Feedback: not sure what your site is doing, but it appears to have an overlay over the content and it takes several seconds to load. Granted, I have a terrible connection, but I could not read the site (which was loaded) due to a blank layer on top of it.

  weird. What browser are you using?

    Ah, figured it out. It's due to a really bad connection. There's a spinner with white background. The underlying page loads (I can see parts of it if quickly scrolling), but the spinner div won't go away. Minor issue that wouldn't affect most of your visitors. Print: https://imgur.com/UqSUUTA https://imgur.com/UqSUUTA On a faster connection it worked fine. Not sure what this spinner is (can't debug on mobile). Ordinarily I wouldn't bother much making my service accessible for those with extremely crappy connection, but given your service might be used by people on 3rd world countries, behind proxies and so on, it might be a good idea to simulate slow connections on your landing page :) Maybe adding a "close" button would solve

website looks great on my machine. Firefox v50, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- zanedb 9y ago
  Out of curiosity, why only v50?

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS stands for Long Term Support, so it stays supported longer than non-LTS versions. Software can be out of date, but its rock solid. Instead of updating software (like on Windows and macOS) they backport security & reliability fixes from upstream. Some people also don't wanna run 57 (yet) because their favourite extension(s) aren't ported from <= 56 yet. So they stay on older versions. Current ESR (Extended Release, akin to LTS) is 52.

Hey there's a typo on the website: "Bitcoin is fairly mainstream now, but it's inventor is still a mystery." should be "its inventor"

Please stop overriding my browser's/OS's scrolling behavior. I know best how I want to view your content. Thank you. Also, the H in GitHub is capitalized.
- analogj 9y ago
  fixed the capitalization. I'll have to figure out whats locking up the scrollbar in the CSS though.

Great idea! Privacy and anonymity are becoming hot commodities ;) You should be aware code style is some times enough to de-anonymize a well know developer!
