On Windows there is extra spacing on top. On Linux/Samsung there is extra spacing on the bottom. Curious about Mac.

Very curious if someone on HN heard about this. I converted now the needed parts to svg to not have to battle this.

I wouldn't have assumed people would react that harshly but one comment on that tweet said they just turned them off.

Ofc they're a business. But in youtube terms. As a creator you either put your video behind a paywall,and not necessarily get paid, or your video will never show up in any recommendations. So unless somebody searches for it or has the link. Nobody is going to see it. And every viewer on youtube gets 5 videos a month.

Has a bit of a bad taste for me.

No, I don't aspire to be a writer for a living. If I publish something I do it to share knowledge or for personal branding.

Yeah, thats 8 million a month. i feel like 5k a month is pretty good pay for a journalist.

I feel like, if PewDiePie can make 1 Million a month in youtube ad-revenue and 8 million total. A Newssite like NYT ought to be able to support their staff, thanks to a global reach and 240Million views per month.

Not very familiar with firefox or reader mode. But if it's something firefox does with the html of the website youre currently on. Than I see no reason why it couldn't work together. First getting the article with Readium, secondly starting Reader mode.

They do, but you have to apply and be selected. Compared to all users, its a fraction. And everyone else gets pushed into the paywall, because medium basically says: "If you don't we will not promote it and your post will die in obscurity"

Here is a gist of the commented code. It works by fetching the HTML content of the website, anonymously with no cookies. Using the fetch API. In a second step the HTML is preprocessed, removing javascript, inserting elements like images that might be done through javascript etc. The third step is to rerplace the current windows HTML with the clean-preprocessed HTML with the article.

from the show-hn dept.

Recently i stumbled on too many clickgates on the Medium blog Towards Data science. Considering that most people publish to share knowledge on Medium and are driven into putting their content behind a paywall, without actually getting paid for it, including myself. I felt like Medium is running the academic publishing scheme. Get free content and get paid for it. So I decided to create a small...
