This format is unreadable on mobile, it keeps opening up my keyboard and scrolling up a bit when it does.

I understand and appreciate the "why" of the format, but this also could have been a non-editable "editor-like" presentation and achieved the same result.

This site's mobile experience mirrors my feelings when having to edit deeply nested and templated YAML.

Is editing deeply nested JSON and XML a better experience than YAML? I don't think so.

This site is beautiful in it's own way.

Yaml is the language nobody needed. All we wanted was a better JSON format that supports comments and doesn’t crash with an extra comma as the end of a list, eg: [1,2,3,]

In most cases Yaml is bizarre kind of DSL with tricky way of API interaction. For instance - I don't understand why exactly the same Ansible API isn't just python library?
