There's i18n bugs in the characters you're sending - I notice you've used "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" but HN itself is "text/html; charset=utf-8" - ie you can only correctly display a subset of HN's headlines. There's an example on the page right now - the Lockheed story from medium.com.
Also, really dislike the target="_blank" on every link - I can get that anyway with ctrl-click.
Was surprised you're generating gif previews but not then inlining thumbnails?
- avifreedman 13y agoGood point(s). Will look at encoding later and rerun all the pages. Re: _blank - it was a peeve of mine that I'd accidentally miss a ctrl on the click reading /newest, but with this interface that's not a problem since moving back will work and keep your place. I changed it and the historic pages are regenerating now. Re thumbnails, I wanted pages I could load quickly on ipad, gogo wireless, bad 3g, etc. Happy to do a version with thumbs this week if you'd like.
