- LordAtlas 6y agoI am an adult with no accessibility challenges and I still find Gutenberg a piece of crap whose interface seems designed to make you pull your hair out. All my clients who just want to write posts ask me to turn the damn thing off. Somebody once yelled, "WTF is this stupid thing making me add blocks for each subheading and paragraph? That is not how writing works!"
- cheeze 6y agoIronic that the link looks kinda... terrible. I can read it, but it's not pleasant at all.
- LordAtlas 6y agoAdrian is a talented designer. I've known of him since his evolt.org days. Rather surprising then that this is the design he went with. But hey, personal blog allowances, I guess.

- Drdrdrq 6y agoFwiw, it works perfectly for me, no issues whatsoever. Which is rare. Ff on Android too, but 68.8 (I dare not upgrade, lest I lose uMatrix).
- mattmanser 6y agoThat's how it's supposed to look. I think. It is truly terrible, isn't it!

- dirtnugget 6y agoHow dare you not use RSS. Go to hell.
- darekkay 6y agoThere's a link to the RSS Club in the next sentence. I broke the "second rule of RSS Club", because I feel accessibility advocacy is more important.
- syntheticnature 6y agoRSS-only content to ... make RSS feel exclusive? Ruin their own discoverability? As an RSS user, this seems like a terrible idea.
- syntheticnature 6y agoThinking further, I think it'd be better to have posts that are delayed for a time on the main site, but appear immediately in the feed.
