Looks interesting.

Quick note: the first time I went to the site it was blank other than the navbar. I did a refresh, but back and then forward again, finally went to tap the hamburger icon and the content showed.

I suspect maybe the content load is massive, since the page length looks very long. Maybe a spinner or shorter page would prevent this UX delay.

Subsequent page loads bring up the content right away.

Yeah, I need to fix that. You're seeing a performance bug. There's a cache in front of the API, and sometimes if you hit the API outside of the cache window, the lambda running in the background is a bit slow. Subsequent loads will hit the cache.

Although, I'm surprised you didn't see the page load UI. There should be a pulsating circle to indicate it's loading.

Thanks for the feedback!
