Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it’s unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view and get hit with the cyphertext immediately. Cool, I guess.

I did the exact same thing. Wouldn’t like to see it adopted due to accessibility issues. But its a neat trick.
