Yeah, really bad UX. Unreadable.

I zoomed on Firefox on MacOS and the two finger scroll stops working. The scrollbar appears momentarily so I grabbed it but it jumps to the next article and scrolls left, which pushes the next article off the page to the right.

Pinch-to-zoom works on mobile (Android) for this site, since each post/article is just an image with a heading.

Swiping up to see the next post/article also retains the zoom, but the fonts & sizes in the posts/articles are not consistent, so we may need to zoom again to make the content fit better on the screen or to make it more legible.

The site reminds me of one of the glorious tools of the old Web - StumbleUpon (integrated as a browser toolbar) - which allowed to jump to random sites upvoted/liked by users. During its heydays, it even allowed users to host their own webpages, and interact in community forum, so like-minded strangers could discuss their fave topics and share nice new finds (websites, tools, etc.).

i got a blank page

It's because the "body text" is actually a screenshot of text, for some bizarre reason.

Same here. I'm really curious about this too. What do they mean by "wonderful"? I suppose some of the pieces here might not be very well-known or popular, but they are inspiring, or maybe they are a good resource for learning something. All I can see is they are maybe associated with a read-later app?

At a quick glance, the main criteria seems for it to be libertarian and anti-socialism.

Wondering about that too. What are the "wonderfullness" criteria?

For example, the first article I clicked on: https://juliagalef.com/2017/08/23/unpopular-ideas-about-soci...

has some pretty vile stuff:

> Non-offending pedophiles should be more widely accepted by society. It’s unfair to ostracize someone for a desire they were born with, and integrating them into society makes them less likely to cause harm.

Apparently, yes. Apparently, they present a curated set of texts.

A curated list of links, yes. These have been around since the Internet was created.

It's not a bad concept. Seeing the first paragraphs of an article helps me decide quickly if I want to invest time on it or not. I would like to do that with books, if there was a reliable way to get the first page of a large number of them.
