WinnerWind UI question, does a table like this in a project development post mortem look good, and if not, how would you design it? https://winnerwind.in/gamedev/wkw
#
WinnerWind a part of me says that i could put it into prose, i.e. "Who Killed Who is a completed game that was developed over the course of 4 months (date start - date end) (...)" but i feel like that could be difficult to skim
#
ulhar4409 WinnerWind: it seems to be too wide for mobile? or at least it becomes possible (and necessary) to scroll horizontally, and judging by your homepage that's probably not intentional?

WinnerWind ulhar4409: it becomes possible to scroll horizontally? that is *not* intentional
#
WinnerWind ill fix that
#
WinnerWind oh yeah i notice the bug, will fix with the new design
#
WinnerWind ulhar4409++ good catch! turns out its a bug with every image on my site

#
wturrell WinnerWind: I quite like it. (I know nothing about games.) I mean you've got plenty of writing as well, so why not structure at least some of it, and the site is highly dynamic.
#
WinnerWind wturrell: im thinking of moving the banner above the data and move the data to a floating infobox, kind of like wikipedia

#
wturrell (unrelated, I wish people would just put the word count rather than reading time in minutes, and let me estimate for myself. But I have *completely* lost that battle, not sure I could name a single website that does it that way.)
#
WinnerWind wturrell: considering how my website works i can easily add that in ^_^
#
WinnerWind i think [zacharykai] does it
#
wturrell (that should have been semantic, not dynamic, not sure how that came out…)
#
WinnerWind what is semantic?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "semantic" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "semantic is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
WinnerWind that is actually shocking o_o
#
offeringofpie wturrell: I don't want to be part of the problem, I'm thinking of adding it in 🙂
#
WinnerWind it's shockingly easy for me to add it in xD https://x0.at/iVj0XuaM1G.png
#
WinnerWind (i should fixx my CSS classes....)
#
WinnerWind ended up making a large infoboxhttps://x0.at/eGHYoTTnaB.png

#
wturrell my logic is… OK, a rough time is convenient, BUT (a) people read at wildly different speeds, and (b) I'd just find it more interesting, to compare sites/authors/what's commissioned by commercial publications etc.
#
wturrell probably there's an a11y argument
#
WinnerWind wturrell: the issue i might see with that is that it might be difficult to get the word count from a blog especially if the blog has strange formatting
#
WinnerWind so it will never be exact
#
WinnerWind having time to read in minutes gives a "feel" for how big the text is

#
[Morgan_M] My blog theme came with a front matter customizable feature to add word count and estimated reading time. I ended up turning both off for most things eventually after reading some mixed views of them
