On mobile, this is painful. Every one of those blue blocks stays too wide and requires manual scrolling side to side to read each line inside it.

If this were basic HTML, there wouldn't be a problem.

It takes a while to load, and heavy traffic stops some features from working. You're much better off writing in markdown and generating the site with some static site generator, although I'll admit that is more work.

It's not a huge deal though - I'm fine with it, just an interesting choice :)

This. The page is under 50KB and it takes longer to render / download (or whatever witchcraft they're doing between the back-end and DOM) an HTML representation of a rich text document than it takes this 113KB+ page on HN.

because you can generate a html out of your google docs? or you can use google pages (where you can edit your page in google docs)...

Google doc is blocked by default by our corp proxies as well

It's blocked by many companies/employers.

You are blaming the author for your IT department's policies, even though the author doesn't work in your IT department?
