Had family members on the Aegis design team... I got another UI disaster... y'all had a chance to end this insane twitter thread UX and you chose to continue it. Why on earth do people post content like this... how much effort do you want me to put in? all that extra energy clicking, making requests...

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

(What would be interesting is hearing more about the Aegis design team, if you want to share)

Nice try, but my complaint illustrates the issue. Im not complaining about white button text, Im complaining about the awful UX of "twitter threads", which all of the twitter clones seem to have blindly adopted, instead of taking the opportunity to improve on it.

We have the rule because people often complain about UI annoyances and there isn't any new information in that—especially after it has been repeated countless thousands of times.

I rather agree with you about the UI annoyance stuff but HN threads get super boring when things like this are repeated all the time instead of discussion focusing on the interesting parts of an article.

Twitter thread UX makes sense for Twitter, but why do people post things on Twitter, the social media for short messages, that are so long they need threads?

It’s the place where both the audience and all the interesting authors are.
