Handy looking tool:)

Meta: I'm excited to see sr.ht starting to pop up in the wild like this:) I hope this is part of it starting to take off.

It's very refreshing not to have some web 7.0 (or whatever we're up to now) site trying to "engage" me when all I want is to look at a source code repository.
The layout, at least on mobile, could use some work
I know this was a week ago, but on the off-chance you see this, I spent today improving responsiveness throughout. Let me know if you encounter any more issues.
What problems do you find? I can't find any.
Not GP, but it gives me about 5-10% horizontal scroll, for the benefit of the last few letters of 'contributors' and background to 'summary'.

It's fine though, I leave most blame at iOS' door. Everything looks too big on this temporary iPhone SE, and I'm not allowed to zoom out, default to Firefox, or use any extension or 'content blocker' in it even though it's forced to use Safari to render. (/Rant..)

I think this is just some missing CSS to hand this case.

On my very much not temporary iPhone SE, I can use content blockers and zoom out…

Not in FireFox you can't.

And I mean 'zoom' out from the default, e.g. on desktop I browse most sites at 80% in FF, some 67 or 50, fewer at 100.

On my in-for-repair Android phone, the smallest system UI/font setting is smaller, and FF is allowed extensions and to use its own renderer, so I have control over that.

Everything just seems like I'm using a largified accessibility mode. And typing - impossible to place the cursor mid-word? So if suggested corrections are wrong, no choice but to delete and re-type the whole thing. And no select all? So if I decide not to post such a rant, I have to fumble with the two cursors and move one to each end myself.

It plain looks bad. But also, it requires more scrolling to get to the meat of the project
Looking bad is not objective. I love the Sourcehut look, and the fact that I have no issues using it on literally any device. I can run my whole infrastructure from Sourcehut and Linode, together, on my crappy phone because they have very mobile friendly sites.
