all reader mode everything
- mort96 8y agoYeah, no, my experience is that reader modes usually remove blocks of code or images or paragraphs at random. I will rather have a bad reading experience than one where I always worry in the back of my mind that some cruicial part of the content is missing. A few too many times, I have read an article, finding it a bit vague and honestly not that good, only to find that all the code blocks or some of the images were gone.
- nyolfen 8y agothis happens to me maybe 1 or 2% of the time
- grenadier21 8y agoBut how do you know which 1 or 2% of the time it's happening?
- adrianN 8y agoIf you don't notice that the article is missing some paragraphs, then the article has had a bad editor.
- mort96 8y agoI mostly read random people's programming related blog posts. Knowing whether the article just is kind of bad at explaining what it's trying to say, or if important parts of it is missing, is really not obvious. If paragraphs of text go missing, maybe you notice it instantly, but if it's images or code blocks which aren't explicitly mentioned in the body text of the article and just let exist to contextualize or demonstrate what the author is talking about, how will you know that something is missing? More importantly, is it even possible to develop a heuristic which catches almost all cases where parts are missing, without lots of false positives for cases which are just inexperienced authors writing bad articles?
- nyolfen 8y agoblogs aren't usually amp, i've never seen reader mode screw up wordpress or anything. i'll concede it's probably not ideal for code blocks though.
