What is it with the people behind Newshutch lately? I’ve been using it since not long after they first launched. At first they kept improving their interface, but recently they seem to insist on fighting browsers’ built in scrolling mechanisms. I don’t know if it is some browser bug or just specific content triggering it or a combination of the two, but scrolling the main area has now become unusably slow. And why? Why can’t they just make the screen scroll normally?
Also, many web comics (notably Dilbert) never fit unless I make the browser window ridiculously wide. They seem to use percentages or something, so as you make it wider, the feed list also goes wider. Much wider than it needs to be. So I have to make the browser window even wider. And I can’t just scroll the window horizontally to read the last panel, because they try and fight that too.
Aargh. I don’t like any of the other feed aggregators that I’ve tried and Newshutch has now become too annoying to use. (whereas it used to be one of my all-time favorite user interfaces)
Maybe I can try some greasemonkey script or user defined stylesheet or something. That or I should just dust off my feeds to email code..
