On mobile Firefox, the app captures the gesture to go back to the prior page, so I couldn't come back to here until I typed in the URL box to navigate to Hacker News

Same on Android Chrome. Fun app. You can have that cool go back functionality without actually preventing people from going back. This site is an example. Choose another question a few times then click the back button. https://rendall.github.io/icebreakers/

Thank you, I honestly having noticed the hijacking of the back button. I'd like to apologize to everyone for it. I'll fix it ASAP. Thanks for all the good feedback

Same thing on my mobile Firefox. I actually went back dozen times, thinking to myself "did I really make this many fuck cards?" before realizing what's happening. If you're gonna hijack the back button for the purpose of your app, folks, at least make it eventually go to the previous page. Don't make it circular.

I don’t understand the concept and the music embarrassed me at work

Whoops! Sorry for the music! That's a little easter egg. It's the intro music for my podcast called Oh Fork it! I made a special little easter egg for our fans if they want to create "fork" cards

I try my best to not assume malice unless evident beyond reasonable doubt. Far more evil comes from misunderstanding or just plain old ignorance (not in a deragoratory way - we all learn new things every day). So in practice, it's a useful heuristic.

That's exactly it. Dumb mistake from my Javascript n00b skills. I'll fix it ASAP

My bad, I didn't even realized I was hijacking the back button. It should be fixed now. Thanks for all the comments!

No problem.

Sorry that my only comment is a criticism, I guess being a SW engineer turned me oversensitive to bugs/unexpected behavior. Like an allergy caused by overexposure, haha.

WHAT THE OH GO FUCK NO YOURSELF SHIT !!! --- Having the back button taken over so it only flips the card and doesn't let you actually go back to where you were linked from is cool for two flips, then irritating.

Solved! thanks for letting me know
