This website could do with just a dash of CSS (and a mobile meta tag).

honestly its better than the pile of garbage that GitHub has become. I swear if I see one more fixed top or side menu, I am going to scream.

How would that improve things, exactly? You realise this is a commandline and emacs/vim email client. Right?

“just a dash of” css would help the user not have to stretch-zoom the website, and then have to pan left and right because the text doesn’t dynamically wrap?

Presumably by going towards http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ rather than the current https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ aesthetic.

Is there a darkmode version of those?

Actually there's a lesson to be learned. And yes, it's source has #\REVERSED_HAND_WITH_MIDDLE_FINGER_EXTENDED ;-}

Improve the experience reading the website on a small screen?

This is an email client. For people using the command line. And emacs. Nobody is using a small screen

No, it’s a website about the email client. Lots of people browse websites of all kinds on small screens.

The experience is excellent when on a small screen. It's text and nothing more - as good websites are and should be.

Adding fixed top bars and hidden pop-out side bars, etc, when they're absolutely not needed is annoying.

Incredibly so if it's done with JavaScript. You shouldn't need js to browse the web.

I need to zoom when reading the site on my phone. One or two lines of css would solve this problem. No JS required.
