When will this annoying trend of thin grey fonts on white die? It puts unnecessary stress on the eyes and all of us are not in their twenties.

[krat0sprakhar → _fs]

Is there an open-source library that does this? I know readability existed at some point but now its no more. Using this, I'd love to build a self-hosted version of Pocket that supports full-text search etc.

[wfriesen → krat0sprakhar]

I use Wallabag as a self hosted Pocket alternative, which uses Graby and some custom filters by the graby author: https://github.com/j0k3r/graby

Hijacks back button so you have to click a bunch of times really fast to get out of there.

When this happens, you can always right-click the back button and select which page to go to.

outline.com is cool. Did not know about this service. It seems it uses https://hypothes.is/ (btw. open source) for annotations too. Cool.

Are the images super small for everyone else too?

[dreamcompiler → hnaln]

They're super-blurry without javascript, which probably means they're very small, enlarged by the IMG tag dimensions, and loaded in full res by JS. As an encouragement to use JS, I guess.

[wmichelin → hnaln]

yes

Thanks for the non walled link!

Hitting the Reader View button, at least in Safari, also allows you to read the full article.

[thrwyoilarticle → LeoPanthera]

Curiously, it's a different article using reader view in Firefox.

[saagarjha → thrwyoilarticle]

Try reloading. I got a different article once the page loaded in Safari, too.

[postingawayonhn → thrwyoilarticle]

Bloomberg seems to always republish their articles on sites like MSN and Yahoo. If you search the headline you can usually find a non-paywalled article.

[a1369209993 → _fs]

That's a blank page.

[lstamour → a1369209993]

Works for me? Requires JavaScript.

Surprising the amount of downvotes I got from giving a simple compliment....

[damian_ → _fs]

Outline.com is intellectual theft of someone else's IP and their right to monetise it. Would we accept this in any other domain than content?

[OJFord → damian_]

I don't think there's any opportunity cost to Bloomberg here, nobody freeloading on this site would otherwise be buying a subscription, I shouldn't have thought.

[dannykwells → damian_]

3 comments in 5 years, interesting to choose this hill to die on.

[smbullet → damian_]

If we're not going to allow Outline we shouldn't allow paywalled articles on this forum.
