It's like an over-designed tumblr theme. My eyes don't know where to go, it feels claustrophobic when a story is open, the white headline is almost invisible against the main photo, navigation is all over the show, and I'm distracted by the secondary stories' photos so much so I don't read the headline and just keep scrolling.

It's beautiful, but functionally it really needs simplifying.

How do they make the page animations transition across separate requests to the server?

The magic of AJAX and history API?

Slow like crazy but a forward step if they can address the site performance.

I like the design.

A low bandwidth version would be useful though.

Their article preloading is very quick.

Shame about the newspaper.
