Guys, seriously, stop breaking the mobile web by "improving" it :(
- rubyfan 11y agoI got downvoted for calling that out on one of their last articles. Side scrolling is absolutely non-intuitive and painfully limits ones ability to easily read an article on mobile. /ot The article is interesting though in that it calls out with medical evidence a correlation I think of as relatively obvious. I've met some seriously smart people in the world with personality peculiarities that seem to stem from anxiety.

- spirit555 11y agoWhile the paginated mobile version is terrible, if you poke around they have PDF, "desktop" classic style and others. PDF and the classic view are actually not bad at all. Their mobile is an abomination just like the rest of the "mobile" web but these alternatives on that link.. I'll give them credit.
- jsjohnst 11y agoDid you try swiping left/right? That definitely works for me. Unlike you, I actually found this refreshingly nice, especially considering it's a government site. Usually you get one broken experience, this has lots of options which all work well (albeit some not fitting well for all styles of consumption, but still well implemented otherwise).
