I feel you. The "stories" feature especially felt like "throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks." Given that they're a nonprofit founded by an anarchist, I assume their goals are just different from the typical product-focused company? Which I'm fine with, the app does what it's supposed to do. It would be lovely to have an SDK though.

This is one of the coolest web projects I've seen lately. Great job!

> Increasingly, activities that could perfectly happen off-line – such as writing a document, filling in a spreadsheet, or storing data – are now requiring continuous network access. This does not combine well with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, which are not always available.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned progressive web apps. This seems like a perfect use-case for them.

On a related note, I just found this research showing that Service Workers (on which PWAs are built) "do not have a significant impact over the energy consumption of [mobile] devices, regardless of the network conditions." [0]

I strongly agree that design element makes it look broken. I checked my uMatrix to make sure it wasn't blocking any styles before realizing that it was part of the design. I had a similar thought about a vertical bar that doesn't take up 100cw. Nice mockup!
