I think this is really cool website and love this topic

But I think you might want to test this page on smaller screens, just very limited screen real estate for the content of interest, the top right half lots of padding, the scrollable content basically has 1/3 of the available screen space, the left hand side kind of has another 1/3

Look your website your vision, I get it and I respect your trying something different with the UI but if your goal here is to communicate your ideas, as a reader I'd appreciate having more screen space for the content, when I clicked on the link to see this specific post I'm just not interested in your other posts (or at least until I've read the one I went out of my way to read).

FWIW, I'm using a macbook air right now.

Thanks for the feedback. The idea was to create something between a youtube video and a blog post and something you can consume in bite-sized pieces. I'd like the visuals to do most of the talking but I guess parser combinators came out with a lot of text anway. I'll try to tighten up the UI some and get a smaller phone for testing.

I really enjoyed it and I look forward to trying out the ideas.

I think you are close to every effective presentation format, but the cramped space for the text was the biggest friction. The moving visuals, as helpful as they are, also became a little distracting as I was trying to absorb the meaning of the text. You could solve both issues with a toggle to hide or expand the visual.
