Interesting but a small annoyance is the evil destruction of history/back button functionality - totally unnecessary and is either manipulative or inept.

I accidentally clicked this link, got trapped, and came back here just to say the same thing. Any page that acts like this is simply dead to me.

Thanks for spotting that. Will try to fix.

Using this on Safari on iOS:

Every time I tried to swipe Back I would briefly see the HN page, and then it would reload the demo page. It wouldn’t let me swipe Back to HN.

Aaaand my interest in this is gone.

The back button worked just fine for me on Chrome.

Back button hijacking = not even going to consider this.
