If you're not technical enough to see what the specific difference is between https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=27470241&goto=item%3Fid%3D27469534%23274702

If you're not technical enough to see what the specific difference is between https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=27470241&goto=item%3Fid%3D27469534%2327470241 https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=27470241&goto=item%3Fi... and https://news.ycombinator.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/ then why would you actually need to see the full URL? Come to that, why would _anyone_ who isn't debugging a REST API need to see the full URL?

To create a document with links. Hiding the URL makes that harder for non-technical users IME.

  But if you copy-paste it, it will copy the full URL. Even if you copy directly without tapping. I don't think there's a way to get just the domain.

    I didn't expect it to be a problem, but empirically it is.
