FYI, I browse with cookies and localStorage disabled... your site doesn't come up at all for me. I understand that as a logged-in user I'd need to have cookies enabled, but for just browsing around the site it seems weird that it wouldn't show me any content at all.

Whoops. I use a 3rd party tool to manage user data and that requires access to local storage. I'll have to look into engineering that requirement out unless you have a user account. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Let me investigate. Neither of those should be required but perhaps something's busted. Browser you're using?

Current version of Chrome on Mac OSX El Capitan.

I'm not using an ad blocker or anything, just have "Block sites from setting any data" checked in Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Cookies.

Thanks.

Thanks. I can reproduce when I set "block sites from setting any data", caused by a 3rd party tool I use. I will have to figure some way to fix it. Thanks for reporting. In the meantime if you want to explore you'll have to turn that setting off... :(
