This is my preferred type of interface. Simple, fast, solid, to the point, and with shortcuts for (almost) everything. ... and I say that as someone whose day job for the past 7 or so years, has been building SPAs. Not all of us thinks tons

Images are tricky. In the first few iterations, everything was left aligned and so images could just flow out and take all the space they needed. That was perfect for images, but less perfect for the reading experience. I'm torn. Somet

We could also make a simple "create test account for me", that will give you a few feeds, a dummy email and and dummy password. You can then just change everything later, if you feel like keeping the account. :)

Yeah, this seems to be the biggest complaint in all of this thread. We will do something to make it easier to get an impression of the reader for sure. I don't like screenshots, because, at least for me, the value is in the speed of na

I'm not sure what exactly your flow was here. Did you come from a specific feed? In that case the back button (ALT+Left) should work(?) We will probably make the title of the feed within the post a link to the feed though. We can'

Thanks for letting us know :) I think we found it in the logs, so we'll look into the error right away.

Yeah no prob. You can also change the email later if you need to. We aren't really that strict about it.

Oh that's cool. I stand corrected :)

It is literally as easy as login in. Just type an email address and a password twice and you are in. You can change your email address later if you need. When you register, there is a suggested feed (xkcd) that you can add.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. RSS is flawed in many ways (really difficult to work with sometimes hand-written XML), but I love how decentralized it is. Awesome with your work! Keep fighting the good fight :)

Just put asdf@example.com (or something like that) and click register and you are in! We only use the email for retrieving forgotten passwords.

Yeah, we should totally do something like this if there is any real interest in this. This post is to gauge that interest and it's our mini launch. (We are two beers into the celebration :)

Actually, to expand a bit on 3rd point. Whenever the internet sucks at work (I used to work in a bank where the VPN would sometimes crap out) I just go on weloverss and check my feeds. Those tiny payloads get through everything in no time.

Yeah sure. Here's a quick brain dump * Faster page loads is the number one reason. It is super fast to navigate, once you get the shortcuts down. (For now it might actually be a bit slower if you're not in EU) * Simpler architec

We love Atom feeds equally.

I can try. We haven't used Miniflux at all. We only tried it out a bit before we started working on our own. * Miniflux is great. It's the closest to what we'd like. * It is self-hosted and Open Source. Ours is not. * It uses

I built this with a friend. We wanted a reader that is simple and fast and can be navigated using shortcuts, but isn't a single page application. Sorry about not really showing anything before you sign up. It's very mvp right now.

Is there any framework that explicitly allows me to set properties instead of just attributes? It doesn't play nice with web components when the object you passed in comes out as a string "[object Object]".

I will be the oldest person on the bench for sure (almost 40... time flies!), and I'm nervous as hell. :) I will second Kragen in saying that there surely are many others like me, that has been inspired by your work. Oh and btw, it was

Burntsushi. Because of your blog post on ripgrep I found a love that I did not know I had (I am just a lowly self-taught frontend developer). I had no idea you could do magic like this with code, and that it could be that interesting. It ma

This makes a lot of sense. It's essentially giving up some "niceness" that React gives to make it faster and closer to the metal. That sounds like a critique, but that's what this whole thread is about, and one way to ap

I am sorry, but I don't fully understand. To me it sounds like you are describing exactly tree diffing when you say that the next node is only touched if its state object changed. I have been through this struggle too. Of wanting to ge

As someone who's been doing frontend for 15+ years: I hear you. I wish the designers and PO's would hear you too. I am doing what I can to push back on these things, and so are every other frontender in my team. Keep giving this k

As a Dane, I'd say no problem.

Dane checking in here. On your last question, I'd say meetup.com for professional network, and if you enjoy any sports, join a club. I had a friend from Spain who struggled for almost a year with socializing with us cold Scandinavians.

I haven't used KDE for 10 years or so, but what makes you prefer that over a tiling wm? Considering you were already there, the learning curve must be zero, and nobody is forcing you to spend any time modifying anything. It kind of jus

The first version was too long to fit on the screen for me. Reading the second I missed the swapping of `i` and `j` -- only noticing it when I went back to the first version to figure out which parts of line I would assign to something if I

jQuery would have been fine, but honestly the website did not need that much js (if any). It should just have been a CRUD website.
