Clicking on twitter en the menu just takes me to the twitter account. I guess I'm missing something?

Due to the unexpected number of hits... Twitter is rate limiting the requests per hour... So instead of doing nothing it redirects to twitter...

Spotted a bug on this. If you go back or forward in your browser to a blog post, it just shows a bunch of JSON code. You have to reload to get the site to properly show.

Also, middle-clicking a link opens it in the same tab/window. Is that intentional?

I abhor things like this. Certain types of navigation completely override browser behaviour in this regard and it is somewhat maddening.

That and command-clicking on Mac both need to be controlled for when capturing the click event for links for sure.

This looks really cool, the world needs more stuff like this. One minor complaint is with the scrollable slide-outs. When you scroll down through a slide-out like the Instagram one, and reach the bottom, the page behind starts scrolling. This is a common problem, and why I dislike using scrollable areas on web pages in the first place. There must be a good way to fix this. I just don't want the outside area to scroll…

Seems like one possible way would be to overflow: hidden the background scrollable area while a popover is open, assuming that doesn't screw up its scroll position. Big problem with that is that it makes scrollbars go away :/

This is very, very cool. One request: would you consider making the color thing not part of the license but just a "polite request"? I understand where you're coming from and have no problem complying, but it's a little confusing and unclear what the legal implications of the rule might be. For example, what if someone forks it and changes the design, getting rid of the border around the pic entirely? I think your rule is very reasonable, but would be better enforced through the honor system, not the law. (Or edit it to make it clear it's not part of the license.)

Also, I personally found it surprising that a second click on one of the social links (e.g. Github) opens the full page on Github. I expected it to be a toggle where the second click would make the Github tab disappear. Not sure if that's just me, but maybe a separate "pull out" or "full window" icon you can click would be more intuitive.

It's set up like that in https://github.com/rigoneri/syte/blob/21ed38790bbfab3e7a7321... .

Could be changed to only preventDefault/stopPropagation if it doesn't match one of the specially tagged links, or by setting up a different selector for the specially handled links.
