This is a bug thread.

We built this in 72 hours while on a bus going from San Francisco to Austin on terrible cellular connections and running on 9 hours sleep in total (StartupBus). Please help us debug. If you see CSS/JS that needs changing, tell me and we'll get it done immediately.

This:

On October 28th, the Library of Congress decided to not renew an exemption for carrier unlocking cell phones*

Should be changed as follows:

"decided to not renew" => "decided NOT to renew" =(or)=> "FAILED to renew"

at first glance, I misread it as "decided to renew".

Also, "Library of Congress" should be changed to "Librarian of Congress"

"declined to renew" would be IMO better than throwing in an all caps word.

Agreed, caps here to highlight the change.

The fonts get nuked by Ghostery, which is not so much your problem as mine (and whoever else uses Ghostery).

Some of the individual sections are large enough that they don't fit on a single screen and navigating by clicking the down arrow on the bottom bar always skips to the next section even if you haven't viewed the entirety of the current section yet. Also, the bar disappears when you get to the last section before the "write congress" section, even though that bar is what has the "write congress" button on it.

One known issue is rendering on iPad and iPhone. If anyone can figure out how to fix it, I'd be very happy. Tried, but there are bills being brought to Congress as we speak and we needed to get this up.

Might have something to do with it. Your HTML/BODY tags are not allowed to extend to 100%, forcing your body/html to max at 720. Not allowing your "gray background" to extend 100%

Yeah I had this removed and it was better, but it slipped out in one of the merges we did. Will switch this back now, it's still not right though.

It looks like there's a misplaced space in "thea nti-circumvention provision of the DMCA", part of the text of the email you're sending on visitors' behalfs.

Yep I know. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've been stumped by it all morning :/.

body { min-width: 1005px; }

You can test for the same effect by resizing your browser and scrolling right. Body width is the viewport width by default, and the bug happens when the viewport is smaller than the page dimensions.

So far no major bugs, good job!

at the bottom:

I have joined a campaign to anti-circumvention provision of the DMCA (section 1201) at

I'm not sure what word you're missing, but you're missing something.

On it.

Update: Should be fixed in a few seconds.

Typo under heading "The Culprit": Orignally should be Originally.

Should be fixed now.
