Yeah, 2023 and reflowing documents still isn't a thing. Yay

I read this on mobile and it felt pretty tedious. I wonder if maybe some minimal HTML could make the paragraphs reflow properly while still looking like a manpage everywhere.

Which is ironic, given that man pages do reflow on different-width terminals and have done since the '90s.

A phone? Your comment is 3 lines for me.

Just checked; both my comment and TFA appear full width on my phone. Bog-standard Android.

Maybe other people do not use the same setup as you do.

That much is obvious given that a vanilla phone setup has no trouble with even 90-character lines. Not my business to stop anyone making things hard on themselves, though, so good luck you all!

(do we have anyone who reads HN over a morse clacker?)

I have vision problems, I increase zoom a lot in desktop and mobile.

What do you have against people different than youself?

Nothing; I wished you luck! I imagine people with screenreaders have an even tougher time...

(mobile I agree would be hopeless with zoom [I avoid reading on mine even without zoom], but does your desktop zoom mean even TFA's vt100-friendly 72-chars needed reflowing?)

I don't always increase zoom but TFA is def too small on desktop. I just increase until its readable, that being said, the article is comfortable for me at about 200-250%. Reflow issues seem to occur at 300% - so no issue for me but I could see some people going that high.

Ok I need a video of this. Anyone?

Ok but why call it "eliminate"? Sry the bluntness

I read it as Elim, as in Elim Garak, a famous tailor from a relatively well-known sci-fi show.

That isn't really any better in terms of connotations, though.

Everyone's favourite station tailor has no part in this (sadly) ;-)

I have to ask my cofounder about this, as she came up with the name. I remember it meaning something like "an oasis in the desert" which is quite fitting to the whole loneliness problem.

It's from a religious text - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elim_(place)

Put something clever involving “N-O-P” near the top of your website, and people will think it’s a cute alphabet reference.

Yes that’s the first thing I thought of. Seems like a terrible name for an app meant to strengthen relationships. App idea seems good but my unsolicited advice would be to change the name asap.

So, this is how termites see themselves...?

Its WordPress all the way down.

Anyone else annoyed by the title not meaning 1 Tera dollars?

Once the fixed spots are decided - probably the first and second or so - you could randomly sort the rest... Each time the document is printed/viewed. Not sure if can be done with pdfs though
