Looks good. Did you contact the artists for their permission or simply look for creative common photos?
As a web developer my only suggestion would be to hone the design's responsiveness. It's odd though because on one hand, it's odd to see your header width responsive but not the content, but on the other hand, it's pretty functional because not everything is a link, which is good with phones. Was this intentional?
Backgrounds are explicitly chosen by CC license. The rest of the photos are already publicly shared and I link back to the original source.
I'm glad you pointed out the width of the image stream not being responsive. This is intentional. A gripe of mine regarding the latest image display paradigms is the over-use of browser width. In my research, the strain on the eyes as a result of two dimensional scanning (up/down + left/right) became annoying very fast. The sweet spot seems to be 3 columns, allowing the eyes to gracefully pan down the page and every now and then look away at the background to prevent excess strain.

Interesting! I'll definitely remember this when designing certain pages. I'm pumped to see another ambitious .io.
It might be weird to say this, but as another person picking a .io for an ambitious project, every great site on this tld helps the domain's image.
