Kudos on this one. Forget the "I'm running it on a Pi" angle, which is cool in its own right; the application itself is great, and just went on my surf list.

Kudos on this one. Forget the "I'm running it on a Pi" angle, which is cool in its own right; the application itself is great, and just went on my surf list. Great work! Constructive comments: - Could use a visible "about this site" link, maybe pointing at that blog post or something similar. - Could use to make a link to the source site's comments page more visible instead of just "click on the logo". JMHO there. =)

Thanks for feedback. I'm always trying to figure out how to make it more useful and improve the UI/UX. Unfortunately not a designer so it takes a while to experiment. Always open to suggestions and constructive thoughts like the above. Appreciated.

  Try the website with Firefox mobile, is significantly cut on the left side. Also the viewport is fixed and you can't zoom on mobile. Nice blog post!

    Odd. I actually use FF mobile myself and it appears fine, but maybe it's my resolution? I do see that the layout of the metadata row on the homepage is a bit funky and the image in the post is cut off. I definitely need to clean that up. Would you be able to take a screenshot of what you're seeing? I'll add disabling of the fixed viewport to my TODO list. No real reason to disable it -- I think it was a leftover from the original mobile design from ~15 years ago.

        Thanks! No idea what happened here but it's prob a css breakpoint glitch. I'll try to repro.

  Your designs are better than mine! I can figure out what buttons should be where, but the aesthetics escape me... :)
