I use Firefox on a Windows box.

Page 1: Looks interesting. Download or Start Reading? I'll Read. Click.

Page 2: Stop. Do something unexpected. Cool. Okay, how do I go to the next page? Any arrows to click? None. Click somewhere randomly? Nothing happens.

Guess this is it? Cool message, short and to the point. Can't shake the nagging feeling that there's more, though.

It was not immediately obvious that I could use the arrow keys to move forward. I found out only after I opened the PDF to confirm that there's more pages.

Yeah, probably related to the screen size issue. Forgot to test it on small monitors. There's a big "next slide" button on the bottom, but it gets cut off for smaller monitors.
The UI fails on a maximised Safari, with tab bar, bookmarks bar, and tool bar, and a visible dock, on a 13" MacBook Pro, which is 1280 by 800.

This isn't exactly a niche set-up I'm using. Having a fixed height is pretty much useless for anything you want people to use in a meaningful way.

If it's an art piece, then I guess it doesn't matter. I can't tell, because it's not usable.

You can sort of work around it by minimizing it using ctrl+-. But, yeah. I sorta screwed up by not getting it to work on smaller screens and mobile. Sincere apologies!
