"Military-grade progressive web apps" The "menu" button in the upper left doesn't work on my phone, so it seems to check out.

It doesn't work in desktop Firefox or Chrome either. I don't see any errors, so I think they just forgot to wire it up.

  yep, looks like I broke something with a recent commit. D'oh. Not in a position to fix right now... moral of the story, no website is too trivial to have acceptance tests

    It broke with the upgrade from Svelte v1 to v2. We're working on a fix!

      Fixed now thanks to njb in our Discord chatroom! God I love open source (and Travis CI) - was able to deploy this fix from my mobile phone while watching the brazil-belgium game

        You forgot “(and beer)”. Who’s your team? I had a look at Svelte in the early days but went with something more mature for the project at the time. I actually recently landed on Sapper while looking around tab Web Component projects and it looks good, though I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. edit: also, read a lot of comments about "why the military tagline". It's a play on the name Sapper. An old buddy of mine is one up in the CAF in Edmonton. They're combat engineers— hence the military tag.

  It's a joke. Sappers are combat engineers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapper

The technology may be great but the...I dunno what you call it... Branding? Rhetoric? just elicits an eye roll.

  It's a joke on 'Sapper': a soldier responsible for tasks such as building and repairing roads and bridges, laying and clearing mines, etc.

    That ought to be easy to find on Google! New fancy TLD, the most generic name you can think off... so this is probably gonna get bought pretty fast!
