It's "cool" but in terms of usability I think it's terrible. I would think that someone who works full time as a designer and has strong opinions on right and wrong would think twice about wasting screen real estate on mobile devices with a bunch of bullshit like a sticky menu, footer and comically huge "window"-headers.
The only thing I see is the design equivalent of over-engineering a car with bells and whistles that nobody gives a shit about, it's simply showing off and sending a signal to other designers, which is obviously fine if that's what you're going for, but personally I hate it (as you may suspect, my job is not in design).
For example, I read it on a 10 inch tablet, so the line length for the article was about seven words which required a lot of extra scrolling, and it’s scrolling within a box so I needed to scroll in a specific area of the page, rather than just scroll the whole page
Yeah! It's unique, has a personal charm and also everything seems to fit together nicely. Fun to discover such pages, reminds me of the old days, haha!
