I would bet that my newsreader uses booth less RAM and less disk space. This is what feeds were invented for. Why should I install that much bloat just for reading HN?
- hiou 11y agoYou must be a lot of fun at parties.
- OJFord 11y agoWhy should you? Okay, don't. If OP gave you free beer would you spit it out over him and say it's too bitter?
- rtz12 11y agoThat's a pretty bad metaphor. I am refusing OP's free beer, because I don't drink beer. I also question the need of giving away free alcohol. Instead, I take the free glass of water from the next guy.
- notNow 11y agoI say take the beer and chill man. No need for the -ve vibe. Cheers
- Killswitch 11y agoYou should hit me up sometime. I'd love to party with you. /s
- mrmondo 11y agoCome on guys, this isn't Reddit so lets keep the commentary constructive. I feel rtz12 has some valid points - although his/her language style contains emotion you can't presume to know why that is without being that person.
- danneu 11y agoIs it really a good, constructive point, though? Boo hoo, too big? Having to make concessions drools? The cutting edge of building xplat desktop apps with browser tech involves independently bundling Node and Chromium, so it's gonna weigh 100+mb like a single Chrome browser tab. That's life. Yes, we all have different appetites for different sets of trade-offs.
- OJFord 11y agoOkay, so you don't drink beer. > "No thanks, I don't drink beer - cheers for the offer though!"
- e12e 11y agoWell, afaik you'd have to proxy HN somehow in order to get an RSS feed to feed to your rss reader? I personally think that proxying by installing a 100 mb runtime just to be able to change some styles and change around some of the UX with custom javascript is a bit silly, but others here seem to like it, so who am I to judge?
