Off topic but I hope this medium.com trend starts to fade. I can't read the damn thing on my mobile when there are social sharing icons AND green open in app icon floating, taking room on my small screen.
Why would I want your app or open it on app? It's s damn simple blog not some kind of webapp.
Svbtl.com was also a thing here time ago, why did that platform become uncool?
- striking 10y ago1) it's hard to spell (you just misspelled it) 2) the UX isn't all that great 3) their homepage offers zero discoverability, meaning there's no organic blog growth, you have to import users from other sites 4) every blog post written on svbtle looks the same, especially with the lack of any sort of header image Medium is a (slightly) better platform. That's why people use it.
- syshum 10y ago>>I can't read the damn thing on my mobile Continuing the off topic nature....I am still at a loss as to why people want to read websites on a mobile device, even if you have a 10in tablet is terrible experience IMO... I will take my 3 27in monitors over tiny phone display all day long... Medium looks fine for me...
- angry-hacker 10y agoI read hn every night in my bed before I go to sleep. My sleeping pill kicks in in 38 min and that's the time I use for HN for the past 5 years. I agree a monitor is better, especially 3 and 27in,but I won't take them to bed with me. :)
