The Why and How of Google AMP at Condé Nast

Re:The Why and How of Google AMP at Condé Nast by MBCook on Wednesday August 30, 2017 @10:24PM (#15137719)

I don't use any apps, I only use the website. And I almost always use it on my phone.

And I ALWAYS use the desktop version because the mobile version is a disaster. I've never tried to use it so I wasn't aware of the fullscreen popovers. I just hate the incredibly low information density.

Why should I only see two or three things on the screen at once when I can see 20? And the 20 still looks better.

I really don't understand the point of Reddit's mobile site.

For mobile I use https://i.reddit.com/.

I like the old iphone feel, seems clean, fast, and easy to use. The only thing I can complain about it that the gear option opens the menu at the bottom of a comment.

To add to that, the desktop site works* with javascript disabled, is faster that way, and has much fewer ads, but the mobile site doesn't even load under that condition.

Edit: * - works in a read-only sense, you have to turn JS on to comment or expand comments.

So they can show more ads.

Reddit's in the process of rewriting their desktop site to use the same stack as their mobile version. So you probably won't be able to avoid it for much longer.

i.reddit.com still works and has a high information density, although its JavaScript appears to be broken for expanding comment threads currently.
