Thanks for building it :)
I loved the part about having responsive design baked in and it being on top of django (since that's one framework I know the best). Myself have been thinking of building something similar for a while.

#72The design has a problem on my eeepc, because I can only see half of the menu items on the left. I know that "position:fixed" is the "chic" thing to use currently, but still: don't. It almost always causes some problem.
I'm seeing the same thing on my 1366x768 display. I think screen height is often overlooked in responsive designs.

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
I fixed this issue just haven't pushed to rigoneri.com yet.. Thanks!!
Fix deployed! Thanks again!
Related, on http://rigoneri.github.com/syte/, down the page where it talks it about Responsive, it shows two images side-by-side.
One is clearly an example of responsive on a phone or tablet, but the other appears to be an example of broken responsive where the content got truncated as the OP of this thread mentions?
Why show an example of broken responsive design?

#74Very nice work. One suggestion: since it's obviously aimed at programmers, you should add programmer-oriented blog options besides Tumblr, especially the static blogs running from Github pages like Octopress, Jekyll, etc.
My prior blog was on Posterous, which was acquired by Twitter and all development work halted. It was truly a pain in the ass the get my blog posts and pictures out of it (they have an API, but no single API call get the entire blog in one tar/zip bundle, you have to script the whole thing).
Having experienced that I'll never use a 3rd party blog service again. I recently got everything back up and running in Octopress, and even if Tumblr or Blogspot embrace 'data liberation' and create an easy way to export your content, I don't care, it's just one thing I don't ever want to have to think about again.
Pretty sure I'm not the only programmer that feels that way, and who would otherwise love to use Syte but for its limitation to Tumblr.

#75I love the concept. Design-wise, I see a lot of things that remind me of svbtle (not trying to imply anything, just thought it was interesting)
From the post, "Syte’s design is pretty simple and was inspired by the Svbtle Network."

Good point, but good support for RSS feeds would be more useful than trying to cover every possible blogging platform.

#77Great idea and above all great execution.
One suggestion to improve the UX: rename "contact" to "email me", it's not obvious this tab will act differently than others and a lot of people don't use the email client installed on their computer.

Agreed -- support for an RSS feed would even let me use this with my Svbtle account and be my ultimate personal destination!

Even better, good call.

#80You know, this is one step towards creating the "next" facebook. Well done, keep it up.
