I have learnt that if I click a javascript post and see a title and author slash screen and nothing else apparently I must start using my right arrow button.

- jasonkostempski 11y agoI only figured this out because about a year ago I ran into a similar issue and poked around the source for 10 minutes to figure out what was going on. This time only took me 1 minute :) Of course, just like last time, after I realized it was another useless slide deck with no context I left the page.
- Tenoke 11y agoThanks, I genuinely couldn't figure out how to see more than the title before I read your comment.

- doodpants 11y agoThe first thing I tried was hitting the down arrow key to scroll. The second thing I tried was clicking the blue text, which brought me to Brendan Eich's Twitter page. And then Twitter did what Twitter does, and popped up a sign up/log in dialog in front of the content so I can't actually read any of it. Pressing the right arrow key was my third guess.
- snarfy 11y agoI have to admit I kind of despise these 'slideshow pages'. They needlessly break the web for a gimmick.
- tracker1 11y agoSome have the visual Arrows in a corner, which makes it easier to distinguish...
- guelo 11y agoI think normally these are the actual slides that the presenter used. So they were created for easy presentation, not for web browsing.
- gohrt 11y agoWhat if I don't have a right-arrow button? Keyboards are not standard equipment in non-text-entry contexts.
- garfij 11y agoThen you swipe.
- glaslong 11y agoI clicked around frustratedly for a while before just opening the dev tools and seeing it was a slideshow. I want to call it a bad user experience, but maybe it's actually a clever way of limiting your audience to web developers.
