I tried to buy an actual barrel of crude oil (2015)

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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