I seem to have a panel on the left that is obscuring about half of the text. I'm sure that can't be the intention - is it yet another case of incredibly poor design?
There appears to be no way to dismiss it, and it doesn't move. In short, I can't read the article, because someone wanted to be clever.
Added in edit: It becomes visible if I reduce my text size, rendering the text visible, but difficult to read. Interesting trade-off.
As if the huge gutters to the left and right on a 16:9 display weren't bad enough, nearly 3/4 of my browser window is consumed by the header and a giant unscrollable blue rectangle with a menu surrounded by large amounts of padding in it, leaving the article in just the bottom 1/4.
Putting my hand up against the screen to cover the entire visible part of the article reveals that I am reading from an area the size of my hand ... on a desktop PC with a widescreen monitor and a fully maximized browser window.
Really sorry about that. I pushed a change to hide it when it doesn't fit.
That area of the screen is supposed to be an informational card, like you see in Google search results. When I have the data, it shows books a speaker has written, and I'm working on getting more in there.
Please don't open sharing options when I highlight text - that's how many people including me keep track of reading position. I had to try and adblock the element which pops up to read this.
