The microfeature I like is when posts have the full date. Blog authors want their content to be evergreen so they try to exclude it. Context is essential for me to interpret the perspective, especially for technical content. I end up having to go to the internet archive to see an estimate of when they wrote it anyway.
- Aachen 2y agoWhat I find so weird is that this is omitted from scientific papers as well. It's like not giving it a title (you just have to read its contents to see if you are interested in it) or omitting the number of study participants (who cares about the N, you just have to reproduce it to see if it's still relevant)
- darekkay 2y agoYes please! I always show a "published" date, but also a "last updated" date for my evergreen posts.
