Even the desktop view feels claustrophobic, with the fixed top/bottom bars.

Exactly, I thought his design was long gone the way of the IE toolbars.

I use a "kill sticky" bookmarklet for this purpose which removes position:fixed elements and similar junk.

Am I missing something? Neither schematics nor my limited understanding of physics explains why you need to, nor how it is possible to, bend one of the pins to disconnect GPIO0 (chip-row, 3rd from the left) from the reset pin (edge-row, 2nd from the left)...

Is it me? Have I been misusing my 8266s all this time?

Otherwise, good article, nice idea, great conclusion!
