Moving the library out of the way is probably a good idea. A friend had mentioned in the past that greaterwrong just immediately showing a bunch of article titles of the articles did a better job of catching their eye with something they could read quickly.
The titles seem to have very little room before getting cut short. If you want to encourage conscious usage patterns, you want to enable descriptive titles. You don’t want a user’s rapport with the site to resemble a person’s rapport with an advent calendar. I think more text should be shown, maybe in a smaller font.
Yeah. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the new post item. We’re looking into some options to expand the titles at least somewhat but I’m not sure it’ll really solve the problem.
Do note that the new tooltip hoverover shows you the full title (and some description) which I’m hoping to at least somewhat counteract the concern you mention, once people adapt to it.
