Hacker News Reader

Thanks for the feedbacks. The author here. Personally I found it more "fun" (well, I guess for everybody it's different) to have some meme in between of the articles, some people hate to read too much text all in once, but yeah, I get your point. So I was thinking maybe I should add a switch like "meme off" to hide all of those at the top of article so that people don't like it can feel better while reading it.

We should start a club.

In the meantime, I just use an image blocker extension when I encounter those articles.

My mobile browser (Cromite on Android, Chromium fork) also has a setting to toggle images, which is also good.

You can probably set your browser to play animated gifs only once; that's what I did.

I was also born in the 1980s but am fairly immature, and liked the article layout a lot.

It's extremely distracting. It's a competently written article mixed with a bunch of childish animated nonsense
