I hated it. It looks really pretty, but was terrible for reading. Half my phone screen was taken up by icons, and there was no scrollbar so I had no idea how long the article was. I really needed reader mode for it.




In the industry, we call this the "fuck off article design" (I gave up reading midway through the post.)

I originally read the article on desktop, but tried a mobile view:

Wow, thanks for the tip. I didn't expect to need a manual to read a blog post.

No manual required. You just have to recognize very common icons.

That's more than I've needed on any other post.

Sorry for requiring thought!

"Sorry for breaking the first rule of good design", you mean?

Nope, that's not what I mean at all, and you know that.

Hey, that's what reader mode is for
