- John Permalink to comment# November 6, 2026 The homepage has some rough edges on my older iPhone running 18.7.1. For instance, there’s no spacing between the head and the ad right after. The popular this month has a bit of a weird aspect ratio, making it look stretched compared to the cards. The title card is also slightly cut off at the top. I feel those cards just take up too much space as well, and the scroll-snap makes it tedious to go through them. I would also make the hover conditional via @media (pointer: fine) and (hover:hover) so they don’t jump around when dragging. I also prefer when sites just take up the available width on mobile. Now you have the cream edge, then a container, again some padding and then the contents of the page. It would be simpler to just do away with one of them and give you some 20/30 pixels extra space for the content. My 2 cents, good luck with the launch. RSS forever Reply

- BK Permalink to comment# November 6, 2026 Congratulations! It was neat to get an RSS exclusive. I think the super compressed font in the menu, and especially the guide titles on the guide page push the boundaries or readability. Especially with the jaw breaker dots behind. I realize that you probably are trying to do lots of fancy things to show off css. But don’t forget to keep accessibility in mind. And congratulations and much thanks for taking over the site. You’ve saved a real internet institution! Reply

- DreamMMer team Permalink to comment# November 9, 2026 Congrats on the redesign, Geoff. The semantic tokens for colors, fonts and sizes and the new light theme sound like a solid way to keep a 19-year-old theme consistent, and a smaller Sass-built CSS is a nice bonus. The ‘Jawbreaker’ texture is a fun touch for a design-focused site. Looking forward to the full write-up and the side-by-side comparison on Monday. Reply
