Steps to reproduce:

If you are reading on a mobile device of a size that includes even modern oversized phone form factor (in portrait mode):

  1. visit https://xibbon.com/terminal/2022/09/21/welcome-to-la-terminal.html
  2. read the first sentence that begins, "In 1992, I fell in love with Unix and Linux[...]"
  3. look for author attribution at the top and bottom of the page
  4. rotate your device and/or activate landscape mode
  5. repeat step 3

If you are reading on a traditional desktop/laptop system with a modestly sized (non-maximized) browser window:

  1. visit https://xibbon.com/terminal/2022/09/21/welcome-to-la-terminal.html
  2. read the first sentence that begins, "In 1992, I fell in love with Unix and Linux[...]"
  3. look for author attribution at the top and bottom of the page
  4. maximize your browser window and/or enter your browser's fullscreen mode
  5. repeat step 3

Expected results:

I know who is speaking, ideally after step 3

Actual results:

On mobile, the author remains unknown, even after step 5

On desktops, the author is unknown until the browser window is resized to at least 991px or greater, at which point an "Author" sidebar appears

(NB: This is not contrived. In following up on #37, the size of the browser window I had open to check the fix was below the threshold described here. On mobile, of course, there is seemingly no threshold--doesn't even appear if you toggle the "[View as] Desktop Site" menu option. Tested on Chrome and Firefox. I don't have a tablet to check.)

Non-maximized browser window on desktop with no Author sidebar visible

PS: where's the repo for the blog? That's not a trade secret (even if La Terminal app source code is), right?
