Hacker News Reader

To be honest I don't know of any, I just didn't want to be outright dismissive of it. If you just use it for a header to have some kind of small animation that grabs the reader's attention I guess it's fine. Just don't use it for the main text body.

Some news articles work well with a long scroll. Usually to progress through the "time" of the article. But yeah most of the time it's just annoying.

im sure theres a class of people who gauge their willingness to read based on the length of scroll.

I am reaching for “reader mode” in my browsers all the time as they cut through these design choices that don’t agree within my eyes

It really helps to focus in the content rather than the fluff.

I should probably be doing this instead of fruitlessly expanding my blocklist. I'm frustrated that extensions don't work in reader view though.
