A bit unrelated, but since, Bron, you are obviously reading this: I love your blog, the only thing that drives me crazy: I can’t see the scroll bar in your blog posts on my mobile. I guess it’s because it’s rendered in white. Scroll bars, however, are great to have an indication how much of a page I’ve read already, like a download bar. Not having it drives me nuts :-)
- brongondwana 9y agoYeah, our blog is currently a pain to work with in a few ways. It's generated straight out of our source repository from Markdown files, and you have to do the full pull request, merge, deploy to get posts out. We're looking at moving the blog to another platform, and usability review will be part of that!

- ianamartin 9y agoI recently wrote a blog engine that's pretty lightweight. Sort of tries to hit a middle-ground between a static blog and a wordpress type of thing. It also . . . doesn't work perfectly. I fucked something up with drafts, and I need to get back to it. But if you are interested, it's not too bad. Insanely fast. http://actuallysprained.net/ http://actuallysprained.net/ Source code is here: https://bitbucket.org/tronflux/pyrant https://bitbucket.org/tronflux/pyrant
- brongondwana 9y agoI'll pass the link on to the team looking at it. I think they already have something in mind though. Ta.
- chrismorgan 9y agoWhat browser are you using? I can’t reproduce this on Firefox for Android (scrollbar rendered in grey, as is usual) and can’t easily imagine what could be causing it.

- chrismorgan 9y agoI have consulted with the guy that wrote the HTML and CSS in the first place and we’ve determined why this happens: the header and footer are both dark, so to make the overscroll background colour (when you scroll past the end of the document) dark as well, `html { background: #323436; color: #fff; }` is applied; but apparently this has the negative side-effect of making it choose to use a light scrollbar which is invisible on the actual content background of white. In short, an iOS-specific hack causes another iOS-specific problem! We’ll think about it some more.
- baxtr 9y agoOh wow. Thanks for looking into it. Sounds nasty... good luck
