Is there a way to get a link to a straight chronological view of all posts on LW?
The closest I’ve found is going to All Posts, selecting sorted by New, timeframe of Daily, selecting Low Karma, then scrolling down and hitting ‘load more[1]’, then scrolling back to the top:
This entire site is laggy[5], to the point where it honestly pushes me away from interacting with the site. Then again I’m one of those people who notices the difference between 144Hz monitors with different response times[6], so it’s entirely possible that I’m just on the low-latency-tolerance tail.
Part of this is that I’m also the sort of person who likes to start by context-switching to “selecting which headlines are interesting”, opening tabs for any headlines that are interesting, then context-switching to “reading/evaluating/responding to content” mode and going through reading content & commenting.
Looking at Firefox performance monitor, there’s random 200ms pauses/jitter while scrolling, for instance[7]. Most frames being on-time with occasional 200ms frames is kind of terrible.
(And for reference / sanity-checking, this doesn’t happen when scrolling on a non-web2.0 site. Looking at the performance trace, the jitter is mainly due to (blocking) layouts triggered by JS, although the JS is minified so I’m not going to take the time to reverse-engineer exactly where/why it’s causing layout updates.)

...however this:
is laggy[2][3].
Requires manual steps every time[4].
Isn’t a straight chronological view:
Blogposts are split from front page for each day.
There’s a gap when scrolling on every day boundary.
...for each day. Potentially repeatedly.

Yes, the settings for New / All Time / etc are saved, assuming you keep cookies, but it still requires manual steps for load more / etc.

Admittedly, I’ve never done a formal trial on this.

view=all&sort=oldon the third-party GreaterWrong viewer seems to work.Interesting! That doesn’t appear to show shortform posts, unfortunately.
(The themes on that website are also kind of terrible, though that is a lesser issue.)
