Information yearns to be free.
(and addressable.)
Looks like it only works on a desktop browser? Or am I doing something wrong.
Haven’t worked on mobile yet but will very soon
Sup boss. Minor mobile CSS bug report. Little narrow (button has to move to top and rest below..... CSS media queries for screen size or something righttttt)
140 character limit showed the advantage of conversations around individual paragraphs
unlimited characters destroyed this
highlighting brings it back
10 years ago I wrote:

Motivating and promoting people to dissect and discuss bits and fragments of an essay is a recipe for misunderstandings and half-baked thoughts. I understand the motivation, but I believe it sets up the stage to have the wrong kind of discussions."
I obviously changed my mind, but I do wonder if I'm not wrong now and was in the right in the past
I think your highlighter captures the best of both worlds.
The character limit (imo) creates flame-bait discussions on deep topics that need context to be understood.
That’s not to say short form is bad though. It’s good for banter and light discussion.
In long form, there are often individual passages that provoke deep discussion or are especially impactful. It is good to be able to refer to these in short form conversation, while maintaining access to the context.
