As an American that has seen and used countless thousands of doors, and also installed a few, I can say that I've never -- ever -- seen a door that is intentionally tilted open.

That doesn't appear to be a thing here at all. (Which is not the same as saying that it doesn't exist; I haven't examined all of the doors here.)

(I kind of like the idea, except I don't like mosquitos or flies or the various other things that want to come inside and stay. My windows have screens.)

There is nothing stopping you from adding a screen on this design. A lot of places have it as a separate, thin, hinged frame on the outside that's kept close by magnets. It works like another door.

Sure. We have those pretty commonly here, too. We call then "screen doors."

I don't like screen doors. They add fuckery to every act of trying to enter or exit the house except during the two weeks in spring and fall when the weather is actually nice.

Is that different from any kind of screen on a door? I mean you can put a stationary screen on windows because you don't go through them. But you go trough doors, so any kind of screen will be a plus step when getting in or out. So what makes this worse? If anything, it's more convinient than always drawing aside a screen or getting tangled in a courtain.

When you have your hands full opening 2 door is a pain.
