For what it's worth, I'm not looking at user-agents or anything: it's cutting off at the point where the display starts looking awful. If you zoom out enough (plausible on a tablet, less so on a phone), then it will display as intended.

I went to the site on my 27" iMac and got the 'Desktop Required' message.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1.3 Safari/605.1.15
Resolution per Panopticlick [0] is 2560x1440x24.For what it's worth, I'm also running Firefox on MacOS, so I'd expect that to work given the right window size.
min-width: 1199px; overflow-x: scroll;
on the <body> element, and change the 100vw on the 'css-obv7rs' element to 100%? (And you may need some more tinkering, but you get the general idea.)
You can still put a mobile popup there ("this has been designed for a desktop"), but mobile users can pan around if they wish - degraded experience, but can use if they're desperate.
I've just updated it, everyone should be getting an updated version now (clearly there's interest!). Thanks for the thought!
Pop up warning: This will be hard to use on your screen size, continue?
If they click Yes then scale width to screen width (so no scrollbars)
If they click No take them to a description page with screenshots.
For other mobile users, you can use Firefox+ublock to zap the overlay(Addon>ublock>element zapper> need to zap the entire screen a few times(not just the dialog) until icons are individually zap-able >swipe right twice to exit zap mode). It is designed for desktop and there is some overlap in charts, but looks usable, on first look nonetheless.
This is a ridiculous "feature" and the fact that you are defending something like this is a major turn off on ever using this product. What other hill would you be "willing to die on" for some seemingly miniscule yet exceptionally annoying feature.

That's their problem, no one else's.
That's a pattern that most people would agree they don't like and my comment is meant to be a criticism of that.

It was posted in a public forum for discussion, is it really wrong to critique or praise the product in this setting?
It's probably true that a summary of features or something would be more helpful for those coming across it anew. In this case though, this is mostly for my own benefit, and it's explicitly out of scope to make money off this: I'd prefer to spend time on additional features for users (ie. me!), rather than implementing something like a product showcase or proper mobile view. Hopefully it's useful/interesting enough when it can be viewed properly, that it's worth coming back to.
