Why do I have to click a link to read the article? I don't understand why it's a thing to add a "fold" to a web article.
More on topic, this does seem like a decent overview.
- imsnif 5y agoSorry about that! The SVGs are a bit on the heavy side and the various social preview crawlers didn't appreciate it.
- ggerganov 5y agoHey, I really like the animated diagrams in your posts. Could you share a few tips about how you create them?
- imsnif 5y agoThanks! I use Inkscape to create the SVGs and then animate them with javascript and greensock. I still haven't quite found the right layer of abstraction for this, so it is a tedious process that takes a lot of time. Once I do, I might release a tool that will help with it.
- hwc 5y agoWould a `<details>` block also work?
- imsnif 5y agoI'm not sure. Wouldn't the webcrawler still have to load it?
- forrestthewoods 5y agoI put my heavy blog content on BunnyCDN. It’s impossibly cheap. I’m happy to pay a few quarters if a blog post happens to blow up.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoAhh so it was an informed choice. I understand. But Hacker News doesn't do previews anyway :)
- Uberphallus 5y agoNot a design/advertising guy, but often times I think it's to be able to display an ad at the bottom without the user to fully read the article, and without putting it ahead of the article (which is ugly IMO). Here though I don't think it's the case.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah a direct link would have been better: https://www.poor.dev/blog/terminal-anatomy/ https://www.poor.dev/blog/terminal-anatomy/
