As interesting as this website might be, this layout is awful. I am not able to scroll on the overlays and if my firefox window is too small I can't even see the links to wikipedia and sorts.

Plus I really dislike those slow animations and really can't stand them, but that's just preference I guess.

I feel your pain. I've got a Firefox window open full screen on a 1080 display and I still lost some of the links on most of the overlays I opened.

I think this is one of those sites that was designed and tested on the developers machine and looked good on the browser they used, but wasn't tested anywhere else. But given it's probably just a hobby project, I can't really blame them for that at all.

They could use with a proper grid, instead of the system they're currently using, which is absolute positioning via a false, JS-driven grid.

The design is pretty good, but you can't get away with `position: absolute` these days unless you need it to set something steady on the screen.

`overflow: hidden` on an open full-size modal is also not a good practice, I agree.

Is 300ms too slow for you? I've always considered 250ms to be a generally-agreeable animation time.
