There’s something to be said about publishing blog posts as Jupyter notebooks straight to your GitHub. A strong argument won’t need decoration.

Almost half the screen real estate on my iPhone SE was white space. I had zero interest in reading something, especially something that long and in depth on a page that wastes so much space for literally nothing.

Typography, layout, and presentation counts for more than coders such as myself will ever admit publicly :)

This is incidental. The current Jupyter CSS needs to be improved - so what? That's not a bug unique to Jupyter, I've seen dozens of other websites with similar problems (some with extremely bare HTML and CSS that was minimal but bad - so the problem is unrelated to complexity, too).

This has nothing to do with the parent comment's topic, which was about using computational notebooks as blog posts, and is in effect "complaining about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage" - which the guidelines explicitly forbid.

Doesn’t display correctly on my iPhone though. :/
