When I listen to a diatonic scale, I hear irregular spacing between the notes. (If you have difficulty hearing this, try singing portamento glides between them.) But the traditional staff represents this with regular spacing on the page. The premise of the site is designing notation where there's a direct linear mapping between position on the page and note number, without the need for a key signature to decode it. A C major scale should not be written with regular spacing on the page because the notes are not regular.
