I don't think it would do justice to the article. If I could write a good tldr, I wouldn't need to write a long article in the first place. I don't think it's important to optimize the article for a Hacker News discussion. That said, I did include recaps of the three major sections at their end: - https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-json-as-components https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-json-as-comp... - https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-components-as-json https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-components-a... - https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-jsx-over-the-wire https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#recap-jsx-over-the...

Look, it's your article Dan, but it would be in your best interest to provide a tldr with the general points. It would help so that people don't misjudge your article (this has already happened). It could maybe make the article more interesting to people that initially discarded reading something so long too. And providing some kind of initial framework might help following along the article too for those that are actually reading it.

    the fact that he needed to link to those in a HN comment proves my point...

        The content isn't difficult. People are just lazy

        > stop trying to dumb him down for your personal tastes That's unfair. If anything you're the one dumbing down what I wrote for your personal taste.
