Right, I agreed that what I did would not scale down to small screens. Nor will it work if you ever try and display on an apple watch or some such. The max-width would have just given you flowing text. I fully expect the visualization to be broken on small sizes.
I contend that is just not a requirement for most things. This particular endeavor mine, included.
So, what point are you arguing against? If it was that I pitched this strongly as a panacea. I definitely concede it is not one. But I also don't believe in panaceas.
If if it is that there is an easier way to get that layout such that I can play with it in silly animations without absolute positioning, I'm game to see it.
Edit: I should say thanks for getting me to look at my own site again in a long time. The code block would need the same width->max-width flip. Though, I question on why anyone would look at that page... well, ever, first. But in general even on a small screen. Not sure what I want code blocks to do there. Will take another look sometime hopefully this weekend. :)
Went ahead and flipped both of my "width" overrides to "max-width". Amusingly to me, the worst part of the pages, now, it seems is the MathJax stuff. That said, I'm not seeing an obvious difference in my mobile firefox, just chrome. Still not entirely sure how I would even want these to look there. If you have a good pointer for a site that styles code decently on mobile, I'd love to take a look and see about emulating/stealing.
