I think it's fair to say it's both because it's the primary navigation tool on a site with a fair amount of linked content (otherwise what's the point in putting content on it if it's not meant to be discovered?)
As a toy, I do completely agree with you. As I said in my previous post, I do really like the idea. But as a navigation tool I think there are areas for refinement while retaining the same fun factor.
I think you're being pretty harsh towards a neat personal portfolio site. It would be different if it were for a product or service, but it isn't, it's just a fun personal site.
I think you're being pretty harsh about my intentions. I said it's a nice idea and worded all of my feedback constructively thus if the author wishes to further develop this they know areas one user struggled with.
I approached my feedback in terms of what I would like to read if I were the author and I mean that honestly because if this were my project I'd have valued that kind of post more than vague comments like "this is awesome" (which are obviously nice too but doesn't offer any guidance for enhancement).
As an open source contributor myself, I know how negative some people can be when you release a project. But at the same time we (myself included when I release products) cannot expect every comment to be glowing with praise. The real question is whether feedback is constructive or just critical. I felt I was the former and I sincerely hope that's the way the author read it as well because I did genuinely like the concept even if I raised specific issues about its execution.
