Use your arrows.

B-but I'm on an iPad. Swiping maybe? Nope. Nothing happens. Just broken layout pieces strewn about, plus some inscrutable green bar (seemingly) loading something.

And then, just when it looks like something is about to happen... the page crashes Safari. Repeatedly.

I wish I could comment on the concept itself, but the UI keeps stubbornly getting in the way.

Some more things they can work on:- Even if you navigate right on PC, you get stuck upon navigating down, only way out is to navigate up again. And then you reach the blog, which breaks the arrow key navigation again, and you have to use mouse scroll. UX like this should have been caught on early.

Thanks for the feedback guys. We put in a temporary fix without the whole grid nav. We thought it was pretty cool. But good UI is always an iterative process and we're working to improve this.
