Fucking crimony do I hate OnSwipe. Loathe it. It's just such a waste. It looks stupid, its scrolling feels wrong and it presents everyone's content identically. It solves absolutely zero problems, creates new ones and is impossible to escape. (I have fantasized about creating a proxy at home to strip out its bullshit.)

The irony here being that the iPad is perfect for displaying very nearly everything on the web just as it already is. WordPress blogs look excellent on the iPad without any of this nonsense.

OnSwipe has become a perfect tool for preventing me from viewing content I'd otherwise happily read. This is a latter-day Expert Sexchange.

edit: ...odd, instant karma drop that affected everything I said on this page but this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2700241

Learn from criticism, folks, don't downvote it because it doesn't agree with your world view. It's how we all grow.
