These are great write ups! Just a shame they are in the format of a twitter “conversation”. The readability really sucks and don’t let me get started on the UX

- victor9000 7y agoI couldn't read it on mobile because Twitter wants to force me to install an app.
- efreak 7y agoDisable JavaScript and Twitter magically becomes...almost useable. You can only view one image at a time. Other than that, proper conversations are readable. As someone who visits Twitter approximately every other month, it works for me.
- fesoliveira 7y agoWeird, I only browse Twitter in my mobile browser and I never had any issues. Which browser are you using?
- spookthesunset 7y agoMaybe install the app then?
- doggydogs94 7y agoI liked the Twitter presentation.
- jonathansampson 7y agoI've noticed multiple people pinging twitter.com/threadreaderapp at the ends of these threads. It rolls up the tweets into a more traditional single-page, blog format.
- michaelanckaert 7y agoThx for the tip!
- worble 7y agoSure that helps... Or they could've just written it in a sane format to begin with, and link to that on their twitter.
- CathedralBorrow 7y agoTrue, but what if that wouldn't have reached as many people and we wouldn't be having this conversation?
- eddieroger 7y agoThis conversation is about the medium, not the message, so we'd probably have been OK without this one. I agree that a Twitter thread is a pretty inefficient and painful way of reading a conversation.
- CathedralBorrow 7y agoI mean the entire conversation, not just this particular subthread. Basically, what if doing something different would have impacted the reach of the discussion to the point where none of us would have heard about it. Is that better?
- liability 7y agoHuh? Loads of links on HN are not to twitter. Most of them in fact. I don't see how twitter is a prerequisite for us having the opportunity to discuss something here. The reason people post stuff to twitter is because they have an addiction to the gamification of social media like/share statistics.

- Traubenfuchs 7y agoHow does anyone consider this to be a sensible format to publish content in?
