You know, one of the eternal downsides of a discussion site filled with web developers is that whenever you post a link, instead of discussing the actual content, the top-rated comment is far too often an angry criticism of the website design itself, followed by tangent about Javascript or something.

And this is why I keep coming back! The off-topic stuff is great.
In this case, the website design is so horrible as to render a discussion about the topic impossible, since the design has made it impossible to read the damn thing.
That seems a tad melodramatic..
Have you been to the site? It's not at all navigable on desktops. When you can't even read the content without being shoved into another section of the site entirely, it's kind of a big deal.
I managed to read it on a desktop just fine.
hardly, it could be because I block all their trackers on the site, but I just see a spinning circle.
I consider this an eternal upside.
