Tough to recommend that, though, when it can't even keep links working when I leave a page open in tabs. Much better off going with a mature, open source project that isn't crippled and bug ridden. There are quite a few. Personally it would only take me a day to style a real CMS into looking like it, like Drupal since I've written Drupal plugins for far more advanced stuff before, so I wouldn't even need to hobble myself with a site type specific project like Telescope.


This isn't a bug, really, more of an implementation side effect.


Aren't "implementation side effects" leading to a mismatch between a user's expected behavior and the actual behavior a bug? Where's the line? :)

More seriously I don't think Arc is a good idea for an HN clone; the lispiness of it all is cute but the way continuations are implemented doesn't seem to scale in a good way in real life. Some form of cursoring like what Reddit uses for pagination is probably better. Plus the news example couples the layout/theme to the UI code in painful ways.

It is kind of funny that a forum like this, with this layout, and that "implementation side effect", written in a similar style in PHP would be utterly lambasted here.
