Field notes
The page calls the interface a “make-believe operating system” and gives practical instructions for navigating it: scroll or pinch to zoom, hold Space and drag to move around, and double-click a title bar to bring a page close. It says links open as new windows. A “Tip jar” appears in the menu, alongside poster-making and the Site Atlas PDF option.
