The number of blogs posted on here by people who can’t be arsed to make their writing legible on mobile blows my mind. Did everybody just skip the section of their CSS journey that covered media queries or what?

I enjoyed the article but it was a nightmare to read on my phone’s browser

(Author) Sorry you had a poor experience, yes my blog "engine" is a hacked together POS that barely works, with hand written CSS, that was mostly built before the mobile first era, I have just tweaked it to work somewhat on portrait phone screens, but it's really not a very good website. I do try to generate fairly plain semantic HTML so the pages should work pretty well with "reader mode" or user stylesheets if you have access to that. That's probably the optimal experience.

Fine for me on iPhone Safari.

I definitely should have just opened it in reader mode in Safari but I just told myself I’d just not lose my spot again several times like a dope
