> Your website, BTW, serves itself as ISO-8859-1

Thanks! I didn't realize that, since it worked fine in all of my browsers, and nobody has said anything about it.

It's a simple HTML page (from some Jekyll templates), served up through an AWS S3 bucket, and I just learned that while it auto-detects mime-types, it doesn't do this for encodings. Fortunately, there is a way to specify it by hand [1].

Should be fixed now.

> And after looking at that on the website, that is a very interesting approach.

I've been surprised by the response to this. It's the 5th or 6th design I tried, and the first one I didn't totally hate, but I've had a user tell me it's super cool and I should feature it more prominently.

One of my philosophies is "When in doubt, show the user their data".
