Offtopic, but why someone bothers to type a proper blogpost in Twitter? It's such a crap experience read something there that multiple thread reader projects exists.
I can only think of the simplicity to publish content makes it too easy for lazy authors.

- perennate 7y agoI scroll with my mouse to read pages, and the very slow scrolling amount on this "threader.app" was very frustrating.
- aembleton 7y agoWorked fine for me on Firefox 70.0.1 on Ubuntu. Have you tried turning off Javascript? That might help.
- choward 7y agoI'm using Linux Mint and it scrolls super slow. I will never understand why companies insist on wasting resources on ruining a feature that works perfectly fine. What do they get out of it? Does it somehow lead to more profit? It really baffles me. It seems like nobody wins.
- tiborsaas 7y agoThe designer of the project probably gets an anxiety attack each time they see how scrollbars wildly fluctuates in different platform. This had to stop so let's ruin the experience for everyone :) (It scrolls just fine for me in Chrome, on a Macbook)
- chapium 7y agoBecause thats where their social network is.
- b3kart 7y agoThen use it to post a link to an article on a platform that is actually suitable for long-form content?
- MrGilbert 7y agoI don't get the "crap experience". Twitter displays it in a nice, chronological view, where you can read and treat every tweet as a paragraph (with some irrelevant meta information attached, but I can skim that). So, for me, the experience is fine. I grew up with blogs and all the bells and whistles.
