That blog needs some inline padding for mobile view.

It's insane to me that this even has to be pointed out with such a relatively simple page, and then I looked at the source; it screams "I'm gonna just bang something out in [popular framework] without knowing basic HTML/CSS and let the world suffer from my <div> rot." I hate modern web development.

  I agree. Its not that difficult to just have a max-width of 90% for the content or just add some padding to the inner container. I also think people skipping over learning some basic CSS fundamentals also end up skipping over basic UI/UX needed for accessible websites, something every web developer should have some awareness about. Complete reliance on CSS frameworks does not magically make the websites accessible,it gets you 90% there. Also /blog leads of 403!? Wildcard redirects are not that difficult to setup either.

And it's not even that hard if the page is built in a sane way, which for the simplicity of the blog should be a no brainer to go for simplicity. I have my blog hosted at omg.lol and while I had to support mobile by myself, it was really really simple. Here is my blog: https://xd1.dev https://xd1.dev Here is the code for the blog's responsive layout: https://github.com/gchamon/xd1.dev/blob/main/css/responsive-layout.css https://github.com/gchamon/xd1.dev/blob/main/css/responsive-... No injection, no build, just plain inline linking https://github.com/gchamon/xd1.dev/blob/10b98ddb37a9786ca8fef251d37163a2dceca206/configuration/template.html#L11 https://github.com/gchamon/xd1.dev/blob/10b98ddb37a9786ca8fe...

(Carl from Obscura here) You’re absolutely right, we fixed it and forgot to push to prod XP

  Hey Carl, good to know is already fixed! While you are at it, please setup wildcard redirects too. Instinctively, I went to /blog assuming it would be a blog page but it isn't.
