If Calvin is reading this thread:
I am sure you are a most upstanding, interesting, and funny fellow. I respect that you appear to possess a love of hats.
Despite my sincerest regards for your person and well being, I must say that the UI of your site is somewhat hard to use. I, and others like me, read the web as much from our small screen devices as we do from our big screens.
Your site, when viewed on an iPhone, has a large overlay at the bottom containing a photo of you wearing a hat and your name, and it takes up nearly 1/3 of the entire viewable screen. It makes reading the content of your site uncomfortable, and nigh impossible. This is at least the 2nd article from your site which I have had to avoid from Hacker News. This is disappointing, since having made the homepage several times indicates you are someone I might find interesting. As it stands, I am bereft of being able to discovering your thoughts and reflecting on them myself.
Please, consider a modification to your UI for those of us who only have small viewports with which to interact with the world.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoDesigner here. Good point about mobile styles! I got frustrated with the media queries and stopped short of fixing em, but as soon as Calvin pulls now he should have a more lenient header on small screens. And you're right, he is a hat connoisseur.
