two columns of text is the bomb.
- jacobolus 17y agoIf it all fits on your screen, maybe. Otherwise, having half the visible content completely disconnected from the other half, separated by a few pages of scrolling, is absolutely pointless. But I copy things into http://amarsagoo.info/tofu/ http://amarsagoo.info/tofu/ to read. That is “the bomb.”
- metachris 17y agoTofu looks nice -- interesting idea to make text more easily readable by splitting it into many columns, each as high as your window is. Someone really needs to make a web version out of that! Shouldn't take too long, and I bet many users don't want to download and install an extra piece of software for that.
- movix 17y agoI hope that 'someone' is the original creator, and not a someone who nabs a really cool idea for themselves. I didn't DL it for exactly the reason you commented on. If it was a web version, I'd use it all the time.
- boredguy8 17y agoWhy copy when you can bookmarklet: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/
- jacobolus 17y agoWell actually I use an OS X service, so it's just a single keyboard shortcut. But Tofu is much nicer for reading long prose than the Readability bookmarklet. Try it some time.
