Good to see Kottke still churning out top posts after so many years.

But... a little disappointed that an announced redesign like this does not include support for responsive/liquid/mobile-first viewport width.

>> I made the reading column wider (640px) ...

Hard-coded pixel widths are not friendly to the proliferation of mobile devices and screen sizes these days.

It's not too bad on an iPhone viewpoint wise, but the fancy font rendering seems to be rendering blank spaces before it downloads the font or whatever it is doing, which is a bit odd.

That’s not fancy, that’s standard Safari behavior. Safari waits until the font is downloaded until it displays text. Some other browsers display text immediately and switch the font later. There are good arguments for both approaches.

He mentioned a mobile version, but I'm not seeing it.
