I can't stand.

When people type like this.

New line after every dot.

Even when not necessary.

Ultra short sentences.

I guess it's "cool"?

A BYOK browser extension could work, but it would run in realtime when needed. To build the HN website concept that process the firehose it'd require a lot API credits.

CopyClick, which shows the full history in the status bar.

I cannot stand to read articles like this any longer.
