I like the simplicity of it, but almost immediately ran into a usability/navigation issue:

- I hit the arrow key to go to the menu, and choose "A Personal API". So far so good.

- I click on the arrow again, it just fades out. Ok... let's try the back button. That removes the hash from the URL, but I'm still on "A Personal API". Pressing Forward adds the hash back, but there are no changes on the page.

The only option I have to keep navigating is to refresh the page.

I'm on Chrome Canary, and I'm not seeing any errors in the console. On my iPhone, the arrow button seems to work to go back to the menu, but the back button is also broken.

I guess I should have pointed out that this is very much a 1.0 release. This is obviously not desired behaviour - thanks for the heads up.

Nice :) I will try to add it to my blog later, it's perfect for me. Just one thing: it's me, or the theme looks better on Mac than on Windows? The font seems too sharp on Win.

fonts generally look worse in Windows than Mac. OS X does some magic to smooth out those fonts.

It's currently using a Google Fonts font, so you could easily swap it out (or use a system font) if you were so inclined.
