Swiping up to see the next post/article also retains the zoom, but the fonts & sizes in the posts/articles are not consistent, so we may need to zoom again to make the content fit better on the screen or to make it more legible.
The site reminds me of one of the glorious tools of the old Web - StumbleUpon (integrated as a browser toolbar) - which allowed to jump to random sites upvoted/liked by users. During its heydays, it even allowed users to host their own webpages, and interact in community forum, so like-minded strangers could discuss their fave topics and share nice new finds (websites, tools, etc.).
I zoomed on Firefox on MacOS and the two finger scroll stops working. The scrollbar appears momentarily so I grabbed it but it jumps to the next article and scrolls left, which pushes the next article off the page to the right.
Fun fact, this also occurs on HN on android/chrome when going from 100% to 110% :)
And yes it's infuriating when you're just trying to enlarge text.
It’s what every single gallery site does.
What would a better alternative be? Adding iframes?
What's the criteria for pieces promoted?
For example, the first article I clicked on: https://juliagalef.com/2017/08/23/unpopular-ideas-about-soci...
has some pretty vile stuff:
> Non-offending pedophiles should be more widely accepted by society. It’s unfair to ostracize someone for a desire they were born with, and integrating them into society makes them less likely to cause harm.
There's no evidence that anyone is born with particular sexual deviations. It attempts to simultaneously absolve and normalize attitudes that ideate rape of children, so long as they don't act on it. That's a pretty thin and permeable line to draw.
None of those are wonderful to me.
Cards of text that I have to click to further read?
