I like the fact that there are no new features. The service is mature and doesn't need any changes.
Also I use a bookmarklet on mobile (in a more easily-customized iOS browser called iCab), so I have no problems with responsive styling. Sometimes a minimum amount of effort is needed to make a service work the way you want it.
For a while a few years ago the service was unstable, but I haven't noticed any problems recently.
Have no recall of the service-owner's politics - but I do remember he is somewhat 'mercurial' in his emotions - and I've often wondered whether he will just decide to shutdown without warning.
Otherwise the service is minimal, no-nonsense, and no hassle. I don't get this post at all.

- anotherhue 2y agoIIRC you described it at some point as "business performance art", and may I please take this opportunity to thank you for creating this lens from which I have been able to view, understand, and not become infuriated at the last decade of hype-driven startups. If you need any assistance with your infra stuff I'm happy to help.
- idlewords 2y agoThank you; I really appreciate that!
