This is amazing, but damnit, why do people disable the back button? I've been seeing so many people do this lately that I wonder if I've missed a memo.

- nawgz 4y agoIt's not disabled for me. If you note, it updates a hash as you swipe, it probably is just that you used it for a minute and the list of hashes was deeper than your patience. Just a bad interaction the author didn't prioritize
- buffington 4y agoIndeed. To be fair, I clicked the back button about five times before getting cranky and losing patience. It wasn't even remotely obvious that pressing it did anything, since the state of things is changing whether I interact with it or not.
- pvg 4y agoDifferent memo but worth checking out as well: Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
