I'm glad you pointed out the width of the image stream not being responsive. This is intentional. A gripe of mine regarding the latest image display paradigms is the over-use of browser width. In my research, the strain on the eyes as a result of two dimensional scanning (up/down + left/right) became annoying very fast. The sweet spot seems to be 3 columns, allowing the eyes to gracefully pan down the page and every now and then look away at the background to prevent excess strain.

Interesting! I'll definitely remember this when designing certain pages. I'm pumped to see another ambitious .io.

It might be weird to say this, but as another person picking a .io for an ambitious project, every great site on this tld helps the domain's image.
