This change makes those types of content completely inaccessible to iPhone and iPod Touch users.
Which is funny since Buxfer released their iPhone interface to Hacker News this same day.
Edit:
I'm sure something will change about this, but until then here's a bookmarklet that rewrites iPaper urls to point straight to the original files (take out the line breaks when you make the bookmark):
javascript:function%20revertScribdLinks(a){for(var%20i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{a[i].setAttribute(%22href%22,a[i].getAttribute(%22href%22).replace(
/^.*\.scribd.com.*\?url=(.*)$/,%22$1%22))}}revertScribdLinks(
document.getElementsByTagName(%22a%22));
- snowmaker 19y agoNice code, but no need for this. We'll be looking for the iPhone user agent and redirecting automatically to the original file soon. Also, the link to the original file is going to be preserved, either on our side or on Paul's.
- ken 19y agoIt appears to be a Flash wrapper for PDF that breaks my keyboard shortcuts, scrolling (by either spacebar or mousewheel), zooming, and searching. Is this an improvement on some platform, like Windows? Could you whitelist those platforms, instead of blacklisting iPhones? I suppose I could have my browsers (on Mac and Linux) claim to be an iPhone for HN, but that seems like a silly hack.
