This is related to Typekit font loading, as outlined here: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6852-contro... We digged into it when it came up before, but I'll have another look and try to

Could I get your UA string, it works fine on Chrome on my Androids.

Really can't reproduce this. Tried it at home and at coffee shops. If you have anymore debugging info feel free to send it my way (dan at medium dot com).

It was added to block referrers on unpublished drafts. We have been meaning to take it out for published posts, but for a couple of reasons it's not as trivial as flipping a flag. "break the web" is a little melodramatic though.

Thanks for the report, we hadn't noticed any problems. Will look into it.

We (Medium) use async snippets for the few external scripts we load (KISS and GA) and our JS is deferred to the end of the document. Stylesheets and typekit fonts will block, though, unfortunately.

Not at all, we just hadn't noticed any problems. We use typekit so I can't think why it'd be an issue, but rest assured we'll look into it.

I didn't realize that old Android browsers don't support overflow:auto, I was trying to get rid of some fixed position elements to improve layout performance. Will fix. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2911

I'm a big fan of the novella format but also serial novels (Ender, GRRM, etc) so think this is really interesting. plympton.com are doing serialized fiction, you can get it on the Kindle, though I have yet to read any.

If I remember correctly, it was first discovered pretty soon after a version of Gecko was introduced with support for setters/getters, and Gecko had minority market share at that time. http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2006/01/advanced-

Medium Dev here, this is our fault. We convert images to JPEG when sizing and cropping, this obviously doesn't work well for vector style graphics. We didn't want people to have to wait for a 500K PNG when a 60K JPEG would work for most ca

Right, but it'd still be in your archive, just not on the frontpage in bold.

How about s/delete/archive, in gmail terminology (in other words, get it out of the inbox but have it still accessible in search). I don't see this as a usecase for spam prevention, as you said, but for informational messages, offers, or ac

Off the top of my head: Data types - Both concrete classes or helpers for manipulating data. Input Validation - Do it client-side to do it fast, but double check on the server. Formatting - Larger web apps often need to format things from d

Not the intent. Just trying to find the balance between UI clutter and ease of access to information. As a stop gap links have been added to a post in the "About Medium" collection: https://medium.com/c/b969ac62a46b We'll certainly look

I totally agree about the URLs. We decided not to launch with human readable URLs since we didn't want to deal with the namespacing issues right away. i.e. /user/post vs /collection/post vs just /post. I'm a huge fan of URLs as part of t

Chrome (last time I checked) will crash if the data URL is over 2MB. Luckily there are the Blob and BlobBuilder APIs now. Using Stuart's code as a starting point I've successfully built >700MB zip files on flixtractr.com. The main d

Gmail optimistically updates the UI in many cases, for example when starring a message or marking read/unread. Not doing so for send was a very conscious decision due to the severity of the failure cases. That said, work has been done to a
