Interesting. While javascript heavy, google groups always gets the job done fine for me.
What I really dread is having to use something like the Postgres mailing list, which is painful with conversations split between multiple pages and block quote formatted so it takes mental effort to even figure out what's the previous message and what's the reply. I'm not familiar with gmane and am young enough not to have been a heavy newsgroup user.
- coldpie 10y agoGoogle Groups is a nightmare. It does some godawful overscroll-bounceback thing. My OS can handle scrolling just fine, thank you very much.
- mynewtb 10y agoTry it on a slow connection and weak (or stressed) CPU. It becomes unusable.
- cm3 10y agoAnd the amount of HTML, CSS, and JS it loads is disproportionate to the content, making me dread anytime I have to use it to read a thread. The asynchronous loading of content induces a painful delay in the workflow.
- zeveb 10y ago> block quote formatted so it takes mental effort to even figure out what's the previous message and what's the reply You think it takes mental effort to read proper quotes, e.g. in https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANP8%2BjKvbe2jwOzUMGotX7ajzh-qQ7%2Be2AT2qoU_ktAvZQN%2BPg%40mail.gmail.com https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANP8%2BjKvbe2jwOzUMGo...? That's proper quoting style. It's incredibly readable, much more than the top-posting scourge we must deal with on so many mailing lists.
