I agree with what you're saying, of course, simplicity is better, etc.

But the nav on your blog is a terrible example.

Firstly, you don't get to just click on the links to go to where you want to go, you first have to click the three-lines button, even on a desktop with an enormous screen.

And secondly, despite your claims about an "enhanced experience with a modern browser", it seems to work exactly as if there was no enhancement at all? I click the three-lines menu and it takes me to a new page listing the links I can click. The "X" button to "close" the menu navigates me back particularly quickly, but that is all that I can tell that is unusual.

I'm using Firefox 136 on Ubuntu.

And in any event, this is all unnecessary, because you can make a nav by just putting a bunch of links at the top of the page, like HN does.
