Argh! You’ve hijacked the Space key (which is supposed to be for scrolling) to open your weird, well-hidden navigation!

… admittedly, I wouldn’t have even found the navigation if I hadn’t pressed Space.



I can own that, it was me. We decided to launch this on Wednesday and I am a poor designer. I needed something to quickly get up as a page to explain to people what is going on. So I grabbed a Jekyll theme and went to town. Sorry about that, I am kind of at fault. Here is the theme I used though, http://jekyllthemes.org/themes/space-jekyll-template/


Remember mystery meat navigation? This is even worse: invisible navigation. Hiding the navigation behind a hamburger is OK on mobile because it’s an established pattern there and the screen is smaller so you perceive the entire screen readily; but on desktop computers? I didn’t even see the hamburger.
