There's a detailed screenshot but I can't zoom to see the detail because the website designer has gone the extra mile to make it non-zoomable. Why do people do this?

And why do they disable native scrolling? Apple spent hundreds of man hours to get scrolling just right in iOS, why override the OS?

You can't even scroll the page if it has a code block on it.

I've deleted the 'max-scale' and 'user-scalable' values from the meta tag. Let me know if that helps at all.

I agree. There's an open issue for this in the `wtfdocs` repo. If you have any thoughts on what's causing it, please drop a message in there.

Honestly curious - why do people live mostly in their terminal? Is it a productivity thing?

Familiarity and low resources needed .. I can use a $5/year natted VPS and program (via Git/Vim), run scripts, surf the web (links), chat on IRC (Weechat) and continue my Tmux/Screen workflow on basically any *nix machine with at least ~16MB memory.

Neat. For people looking at alternatives for configurable dashboards i suggest sampler[0]. It has a weird license but free for personal use. You can report any output of a terminal command with a custom time rate. E.g. you can SSH and pipe HTOP of a remote system, query your local DB and do a timeseries etc. all in one place. [0]: https://github.com/sqshq/sampler

These are all great, but I'm curious if anyone can suggest browser alternatives (I've looked before w/o success) -- It would be awesome to have something like this open up on the home browser tab. Any suggestions?

I'm in the same camp as you are, a funny method that would "kinda work" would be to use something like https://github.com/yudai/gotty but I feel like that's a pretty hacky solution haha.

The site still can’t be scrolled past the opening image easily on Safari iOS, but the initial image can now be zoomed - thank you!

I have RSI in my mouse hand from pointing and clicking so much and basically my index and middle finger are constantly inflamed. The only thing that makes the swelling go down is icing, ibuprofen, and not using a mouse.

Randomly, if you aren’t already doing so, fully submerging your hand in a container of ice water for no more than a couple minutes several times a day (ask your doctor!) is a particularly effective tendinitis icing strategy. It’s also perhaps the most painful things I’ve ever done. But it treats tendon swelling like nothing else.
