The main navigation bar on the current Backloggery site should work properly on most touchscreen devices now. I believe iOS fixed this long ago but it was pretty finicky on Android.
A comment on the last Patreon post prompted me to take another look at this. (Thanks, Tria!) I had previously thought this wasn't possible without a larger page restructuring, but I believe I have it working now thanks in part to better touch differentiation in modern browsers. It did fail on a few device tests but those were done via an emulator so hopefully it will fare better on the real deal. Even if it doesn't work it should be no worse than it already was.
I can confirm it works on Android One in Chrome, Firefox, and Brave.
