[stub for offtopicness]

All: please note this from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

Yes, sites that don't work on your device are annoying—but uninteresting, offtopic, irritable threads are the closer-to-home annoyance here.

Please don't let the comments deter you from giving the site a try! Ok navigation is finicky on mobile but this isn't a blog post, it's quirky, I find the humor funny and the subject matter deserves some artistic liberty on the presentation side

Its notable that on desktop, the navigation is excellent. Custom navigation is rarely great, but this fits the content so well.

How am I meant to use this? None of the sidebar text is clickable.

Fancy navigation isn't worth a damn to me without graceful degradation.

Is this with JS disabled? I don't think we should expect interactive, fun sites to work well that way.

Yes.

Websites are supposed to have basic functionality without JS.

They are supposed to earn my trust before I grant them the right to run JS locally.
