You should get into the habit of actually checking the network requests. The site looks minimal but it's 1.1MB w/o Google analytics. It's what Maciej Cegłowski(https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm) would call Chickenshit Minimalism.

You're right - spoiled by the internet connection. I guess I was referring more to the UI.

I'm just happy that the homepage mostly zooms the way it should.

Nothing in the modern web pisses me off more than a developer trying to decide how my zoom behavior should work for me. Zoom is a very basic concept, I want to make the whole page larger or smaller. For some reason people insist on messing with that to make some menu, banner, or image popup appear the way they think I (or they) want it to when I try and zoom in or out, rather than just let me zoom as I please.

This site still manages to fuck it up when I click on one of the images though.
