Requiring a login to see anything at all is too much friction for this kind of thing. (Or at least I couldn't find a link that let to content from the main page without logging in.)

The UI is nice though. Minimal dead space in the comments.

Going directly to a tag view will let you browse without logging in: i.e. https://non.io/#all or https://non.io/#dog

I've still got plenty of work to do on the UX of the site!

Hmm, is there a way to switch between tags without editing the url? I can't find any list of current ones.

Logging into an account will get you the sidebar, which will let you navigate current tags. You can use the demo account hackernews pw=helloworld

Cool thanks, the account view shows a completely different picture. It would probably be a good idea to show that same sidebar to guests, aside from the subscribed tags.

The HTML upload option is... very interesting.

The html upload is my favorite part and the one I'm most scared about. This post is actually an html upload: https://non.io/reddit-has-platform-user-misalignment

One issue though is automatically resizing the iframe for the frontend. I have a protocol for iframes to request their own size, which this script leverages: https://html.non.io/nonio-embedded-page.js

I'll likely create a setting to automatically inject that script into html uploads.
