Three clicks got me to the actual about page: https://tippin.me/howto

and you shouldn't click the "about" link at the bottom. (The about link opens a biography of the web designer or someone a user shouldn't care about initially).

First click the taco icon top right which says "US" (I thought it was a locale changer).

Then work your way down the page to the link "Want to Tip? Get started with Lightning Network" (Very small link, right at the bottom).

Then you will see that it's actually what this site is about and the first mention of Twitter.

Apparently author would like someone to buy him a taco more than he would like to show his project. :) ..... or it's a smart way to get money while users are testing out this tipping service.

And that button is only clickable with a mouse (because it's a div with an onClick property)

I hate to break it to you guys but no one comes to hackernews for web design critique. It's much more productive to discuss the actual technology. A solo developer built something pretty cool and interesting and all you care about is the web design?
It's cool project, though I very often see critique (or tips) on web design.

Sometimes it's very simple bugs/problems authors have overlooked, sometimes it's just not very good UX (e.g. open a webpage and i does not answer what? why? how? and how much?).

Very often top comment can be a link or explanation which answers all these questions, that index page does not answer.

In this case we have link to the relevant part - which IMO should be the index page.

http://n-gate.com/ describes their hacker news weekly summaries as 'webshit weekly'. Read into that (along with all the other comments on this thread) what you will
