Improve the experience reading the website on a small screen?

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.

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.
