pdurbin I like "reader" but "visitor" sounds welcoming. What else... "audience member".
# 00:07 
pdurbin "Guest" sounds even more welcoming.

csarven Thanks both

csarven I defaulted to 'user' for now.

pdurbin Sure. Don Norman has said, "One of the horrible words we use is 'users'. I am on a crusade to get rid of the word 'users'. I would prefer to call them 'people'." http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/220278/is-the-term-users-the-right-word-to-describe-active-members-on-stack-exchange-sites :)

pdurbin I recently read The Design of Everyday Things so that sentiment is on my mind. That said, I agree with this quote from the link: "It is important to choose a nice short noun for this, because it will also be used as an adjective in constructs like 'user name', 'user profile', 'user number' and so on." I think we're stuck with "user".

pdurbin I just upvoted this comment: "Don Norman is not a random guy no one has heard of." :)

rhiaro ben_thatmustbeme: I can't reproduce hyphenation on any of my devices, incluidng making the window just a few pixels wide on my laptop. Weird.

rhiaro I was gonna add a css rule to prevent it in the acknowledgements section, but I can't test it
