         | Yeah, looks like they didn't account for the fact that
         | trackpads exist. Using zoom shortcuts or a mouse works fine
         | though.

         | Seems fine over here. It doubles to zoom in and halves to zoom
         | out.

         | Why is this incredible? (Do you know "life in life"?) Is it the
         | way the website is built?

             | "Life in Life" is actually Conway's game of life...
             | Directly comparable to this, arguably a lot cooler and not
             | a new thing at all. "Incredible" should mean, at least to
             | some extent, you didn't think the thing existed or was
             | possible.
             | 
             | I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Is it "never ask
             | anyone why they find something incredible"?
