alt Hacker NewsI'm not sure I like this form of content. It's hard to read and confusing on mobile for little gains. The article seemed interesting though.

If you use Reader View in your browser, its much easier to read.

On desktop it is very difficult to read.

I'm absolutely sure I don't like it, and I'm reading it on desktop.
Only made it a couple of "pages" in and had to close the tab entirely because of the convoluted animated presentation.
None of it felt like it was in service of anything other than screaming "look how neat this is!" which is just terribly distracting.

Out of curiosity I asked Codex to build a version of this article that can be read/scrolled in a normal way while preserving the original graphics/text. Codex built it in about 10min with GPT-6.1 Sol High (consumed 8% of my 5h quota). It even thought of adding a dark/light mode switcher which is useful too. It still needs a few prompts of minor polishing, but already more readable to me.
