Yes, the trailing slash (or lack thereof) is a known problem. To be
clear, there needs to be a trailing slash in the URL!

Unfortunately, it's the micro:bit foundation who are hosting this and
I'm nothing to do with how they configure their redirects.

Here's an alternative link (the target the original -- and easy to
remember -- URL points to):

http://python.microbit.org/blocksalpha/0.1.0-blocksalpha/editor.html

Have fun!

Also, it's not supposed to be mobile friendly, it's a text editor at
heart. ;-)
