This was a legitimate criticism back when there was no way to thread tweets and you had to read them in reverse.
Now that you just scroll down like any other website, it just sounds like tired complaining.
- Hokusai 6y agoIt is still atrocious. Designers have developed thru the ages great fonts, layouts and a miriad of tools to create text that is easy to read. Not having to read the text backwards is a extremely low bar, I expect more from a text. Twitter is the wrong tool for the task, a very bad one.
- phs318u 6y agoThis complaint is about more than mere website formatting (per HN guidelines). There's now 11 distinct reply threads of fragmented discussion to dig into, for anyone that might be interested. Hokusai is right to complain about this. And people savvy enough to write the article should know better. Post it on a blog and tweet the link. How hard is that?
- rini17 6y agoIt is hard, some people are plainly incapable of expressing themselves in article form. Or refuse to. There was plenty of shaming already and it did not help.
- phs318u 6y agoI wasn’t commenting on his essay writing skills. I appreciate many people aren’t wordsmiths. Literally the same 11 points in a single block of contiguous text, posted anywhere (GitHub, LinkedIn, Medium etc etc).
