- gremlinsinc 6y agowhy not autoload it on scroll... like after you get past 75% or something? Many sites have never-ending scrollers, FB as an example and you'd think as big as YC is they could afford someone who can figure out endless scrolling.
- wolfgang42 6y agoEndless scrolling was specifically rejected [1], and given how vociferous the HN community can be about such things I don’t blame them. Also, comments can shift from page to page as their ranking changes, so a naïve implementation would end up with duplicates (for comments that fell down past the page boundary before the next page loaded) and missing items (for comments that rose up), and a more sophisticated implementation probably wouldn’t be worth the effort for something they want to get rid of.
