Is there a live demo I can run?

From their blogpost[1] "Head on over to flipboard.com on your phone to see what we’ve built, or if you don’t have a Flipboard account, check out a couple[2] of magazines[3] to get a taste of Flipboard on the web."

I was rather impressed with flipboard.com on my mobile. Although it seemed to hit a jank on a few scrolls and I wonder if there are UX implications for not being able to highlight and copy some of the text.

Regardless very cool!

When I went to the example links given at the end of the post with my phone, I jut got a "spinner" for several minutes before I gave up waiting...

On https://flipboard.com/explore I get some exciting but very distracting rendering artefacts (blocks on the images changing intensity at a high speed until I start scrolling fast - if I scroll through slowly, the flickering continues)..

If I click through on one of the example pages, scrolling seemingly randomly stops working smetimes (after a few tries, it started snapping back to where it was, even when there clearly is more content below).

This is with the Android browser on 4.2.2, admittedly on a rather obscure phone (a Kingzone K1 Turbo) .

If you're interested in more details, my e-mail is on my profile.
