I'd like it if I could zoom on my phone on a site about ui/ux with small pictures.

Hey, I'm the author of this site! You're on Android I think, based on the other comments here? I only have an iPhone to test, but I can pinch+expand the site on my phone no problem. Was not intentional to have blocked it! Sorry, I'll see if I can work out why.

Firefox Android, yep. That makes some sense actually if iOS ignores it. Whenever I come across the behaviour I wonder why , but if it's just a copy/paste magic meta tag which goes unnoticed by most browsers then I can see how that could proliferate.

Ok, this should be fixed now, let me know if you still can't zoom!

Works for me!

Only tangentially related, but just yesterday I learned of Lego's defunct "Modulex" brand, and the serious and apparently widely popular Lego-brick-based project management display boards from the '60s to the '90s.

The small size and comforting pastel colors seemed especially inviting to me.

It makes me yearn for more tactile and actually pleasant-to-work-with computer UIs.

I wonder if there’s a 3D printed version somewhere online
