Indeed the scrolling performance is awful, makes reading it less enjoyable, especially when the topic is GUIs!

desktop and mobile browsers have a reader mode icon you can click. it is useful for 1) this 2) website blocking fully loaded content with some paywall popup 3) and more!

click it for a better time

"better time" = the syntax highlighting is gone and the code is no longer monospace?

Syntax highlighting does go, but at least on iOS the reader still uses a monospace font for the code blocks.

I did leave out the disclaimer. we can't please everyone can we

with segments of code, I'll read it w/o syntax highlighting. i'll even think of the people who prefer it that way all the time
