Yea, well, I had to modify your website to make it readable. Why do people do this?


It looks good to me on mobile. High contrast, lines aren't too long. What issue did you have?


There are two widgets in the lower left and lower right corners of the page which constantly shoot little bullets all over the screen chasing your mouse pointer. In the steady state on my screen there are about 20 sprites constantly moving across the page. There was no obvious way to disable them other than inspecting the page and deleting the widgets from the page.

If you want me to read your site, and you want to put detailed technical information on it, please don't add things like this without an off switch.


Weird, as soon as my mouse pointer gets hit by one of the bullets, the shooters disappear until I refresh the page. Not getting hit for more than a few seconds is actually rather tricky as the rate of fire increases. I didn't even notice them at first as my mouse pointer got shot by the first couple of bullets.

Maybe the behavior changed.


Very frustrating, I read with the mouse pointer and this made it impossible.


That was added fairly recently I’d guess as a joke but I’m not in on the reasons.
