The flashing red dot on the web page is very annoying. Is there some design reason for that?
edit: I meant the <svg> inside `trail-map-container`
- lysium 5mo agoFWIW I see the red dot only at the top of the page, flashing slowly. It does not annoy me, in fact I only discovered it because of your comment.
- christophilus 5mo agoOn desktop, it's fixed to the left of the story, pulsing along the entire time you're trying to read. If you are like me, it will annoy you. I had to switch to reader mode.
- FrustratedMonky 5mo agoI think he's going for a metaphor about groups versus individuals. There are other gray dots around the red dot. Software is a group effort, but made of individuals. Something, Something.
- kgwxd 5mo agoFrom what I can tell, it marks the article you're on. There are other light grey dots with other article names in it.
- jolmg 5mo agoYeah. This one shows a graph: https://www.thetypicalset.com/blog/grammar-parser-maintenance-contract?trail=blog%2Fthoughts-on-coding-agents https://www.thetypicalset.com/blog/grammar-parser-maintenanc... Solid red dots are articles you've visited.
