#182Earlier quoted context omitted.
why the downvotes, I meant to demonstrate that I prefer the current behaviour so the site developer knows.
The downvoters meant to demonstrate that they prefer the standard/expected behavior and would like OP to ignore your opinion on the matter.
I didn't downvote, because the poster had a reasonable opinion stated politely, but I still really hope the OP ignores his opinion.

#183Nice job, clean and well built. I built something very similar, with a focus on engineering/product/startup blogs https://engineered.at
What's your tech stack? Mine is pretty vanilla ruby on rails, while my site is closed source, I did open source a rails engine for adaptive monitoring of RSS feeds that does a lot of the heavy lifting: https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor

So many comments debating the philosophy around this. I like it when these type of sites open a new tab for me. Is there a way to just code in a toggle between the two link opening types?
This is the type of thing I have to fight against daily. You already have both action available - left click or middle click. Don't bloat your software with band aids for problems that don't exist - just train your users better.

#185Holy smoke the bullshit I see upvoted on that site frontpage mate! Fitness is "white supremacism"!? A few lines from that "the girly wellness aesthetic as a white supremacist dog whistle" frontpage articles (that title, already): > I cannot help but see that “Pinterest clean girl fitness and fruit bowl gua sha yoga mat pilates in the forest” content as covert white supremacy and eugenicist ideals Let people live ffs!…
This reads like a kneejerk reaction to the title, which I understand. I think it's deliberately written that way to draw you in, but I get how it could be upsetting. Her point isn't that "fitness is white supremacy," and not even remotely close. Just that the social media and culture around wellness and fitness can give off white supremacist, fascist energy by presenting an extremely unobtainable and yet highly ideal…
That was to draw the reader in? I found that title so off-putting that I didn’t even bother to look at the site as a whole.
Your comment made me actually go click through to see who wrote it, as I was curious… a white girl from Germany. It seems very possible that her algorithm is feeding her mostly white European fitness influencers, because she herself is a white European girl. That isn’t inherently wrong and there is no supremacy at play.

The specific topic of that blog post aside, any aggregation of 'indy' and 'small' content producers is going to lean kind of weird. Maybe left, maybe right, hopefully a combination of both, but it's going to have all sorts of crazy posts like that, all sorts of nutty niches.
That's at least interesting, in an old-school-internet kind of way. Hopefully it doesn't get captured by one clique or another.

The summaries are a great idea.
It would be interesting to extract devices and inventions from articles to create an "inventions race" (as opposed to "arms race.") It could be used to establish prior-art and negate a lot of expensive and unnecessary patents that end up going nowhere or used for trolling. That's something I have been thinking about for tinkeri.ng. Something comparable to a patent archive - but used for networking and sharing. Would end up looking like a wiki with articles getting pingbacks.

#189Some of these submissions would put satirists out of a job.

Bubbles dev here, I've heard you loud and clear and follow the discussion closely. I will change the default behaviour to open links in the same tab like on HN or Lobsters soon. But first the HN visitor wave needs to calm down.
So many comments debating the philosophy around this. I like it when these type of sites open a new tab for me. Is there a way to just code in a toggle between the two link opening types?
The reason it’s a debate is because both interfaces / flows are broken.
Back/forth, new tab, currently open tab switch, bookmark, needs to be redesigned from first principal. They all approximate different versions of similar intents.
