>> Desktop and mobile shouldn't have the first couple of bars obscured.
I am on a desktop with a huge monitor in ultra high res. It is pretty bad.
>> The sideways text is meant to be a subtle nod to the fact the page scrolls sideways, but I agree it's not as nice to read as it would be were the text the right way around.
Then the subtle nod is lost on me... why not turn the text when I click, or have hover text, or make the whole page rotated 90 degrees?
Like the original response, it was fun for one second, then I was like I can not read this stuff, or its painful.
