Earlier quoted context omitted.

Good design is a fleeting, abstract concept that has more to do with correlation than anything else: Correlate something with good content and the design seems good by association. When it becomes common, though, it is ready for displacement. This is true of virtually every "good design" over the years. At the beginning people almost always thought it was superior in some way.

Apple became the most valuable company in the world by focusing on good design.

What about this should compel me to give all my content to someone else? I understand the argument that they're entering in to a crowded space, and I see how they believe that they're the best.

But really, I'm just going to put all my stuff on someone else's servers and wait for them to be acquired and shut down? It is 2014 after all. How many times has this happened?

Wasn't part of svbtle's appeal being one of the few people to "have a svbtle"? When it first came out - it was beautiful & part of the cache was that only a few people got in.

It was super popular for a few months - then fell off completely. Seems strange that the one main differentiator for the network has now been removed.

I hate blogs without dates. A good blog article is dated properly when it was created and revised. If you want to promote a new blog platform, better date your blogs properly.

I'd love to see blogs show a visually appealing diff when updates are made after the publishing date. Each diff linked by clicking on a timestamp.

Oh thank god! Before this, I had nowhere to post all my brilliant thoughts except medium, blogger, wordpress, posthaven, quora, facebook, google+, livejournal and myspace.

And my personal favourite:

    $ cat  blog-post-n.html
    
    
    My post here
    
    
    EOF

    $ scp blog-post-n.html myserver:public_html

Same here - I went looking because of your comment and then accidentally kudo'd it.

Wow, that's obnoxious. Just leaving your mouse over the "button" is enough to activate it.

Some blame goes to javascript and the DOM (mouseover should not an event IMO), but this is a truly obnoxious feature.

I forgot why I don't click links to svbtle but thanks HN for reminding me why :)

And now they're dropping skew-morphism, which demonstrates the point.

Don't forget Obtvse! [0] [0] https://github.com/natew/obtvse2

So 'acvte' is still up for grabs?

Also, did you really just index your citations by zero? :)
