I knew there might be more content, but had no idea how to get there. It never occurred to me that I should move sideways. There was no hint. And it's a shame because it's an otherwise really nice website.

Those uis also have little clickable arrows to the left and right of the image, at least on reddit. That is the kind of hint op wants.

I would at least have expected that I can swipe left and right to move between images, but on desktop Chrome (Mac), doing the standard "two finger swipe" just goes back and forth in the browser history. You have to "push down" on the touchpad with a single finger to drag the images. It's utterly confusing. Hardwiring a webpage to "mobile phone expectations" is just as bad as expecting that there's a keyboard and mouse attached. (I also tried the left/right arrow keys, but that didn't work either. What does work is clicking on the 1/5 numbers, but there's no indication that those are clickable links) Two clickable arrows on the left and right edge would do wonder, or just go with vanilla HTML and don't create such a weird contraption :)

  Arrow keys also work, but you need to focus the image first...

Even noticing that, it's still not completely clear how to interact with the page. My right/left arrow keys don't work unless I first click the image

Well, for one; on mobile - they're incredibly small to try to press, furthermore, the scrolling to move between the images is completely broken on both my iPhones and my Mac. As I said in another comment, this is one of the most poorly-designed sites I've ever seen on HN. I thought it was satire, as in like an example of what not to do in web design, I'm honestly shocked it's supposed to be taken seriously.

> It says 1/5. Just out of curiosity, what did that mean to you? A rating by nouve-riche hipsters? tbh I didn't even clock it, as left corner is usually general menu / logo.. Location is context; Usually a progress counter like that for a gallery is presented either top centre or bottom centre, with additional widgets to indicate manual scrolability.

usually, pagination like 1/5 are accompanied with arrows, text like next/previous/first/last and clicking on the '5' usually takes you to the page 5, not the next one

Personally I use these apps, but I didn't expect that kind of navigation on desktop, so it took me a few seconds to realize.
