Good to see Kottke still churning out top posts after so many years.<p>But... a little disappointed that an announced redesign like this does not include support for responsive/liquid/mobile-first viewport width.<p>>> I made the reading column wider (640px) ...<p>Hard-coded pixel widths are not friendly to the proliferation of mobile devices and screen sizes these days.
Has anyone on HN used the H&F-J webfont service? There are probably NDAs involved with the private beta, but I'd love to hear more about it, in terms of performance, rendering, available fonts, etc.
How can I sign up for their beta, or when is it expected to launch?<p>It's so weird to see this when I was just thinking to roll my own webfont of Whitney and test it out. I've done this before for another HF&J font before and it was not fun (besides probably violating some TOS). You have to hack the font file to get fontsquirrel to spit it out, and even then some letters rendered improperly on Windows. I'd be happy to just pay for the service..
Rather poor performance on going to the front page, <a href="http://kottke.org/" rel="nofollow">http://kottke.org/</a> The initial viewport comes up fast, but it takes over 10 seconds to finish loading and be able to scroll. Wonder what is causing that?<p>Maybe hanging while it is filling in the Facebook and Twitter buttons on each post?
