It's hard to take a book about web design so seriously when its so poorly designed itself. Right off the bat, the author(?) demonstrates they not up to the job to talk about such a topic.

Oddly enough, I find it quite pleasant. I'm on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, and it's really easy to sit back in my chair and read this comfortably in my usual window setup (which is 1/3 web browser, 2/3 terminal, or so)

Edit: ok, at full width on this screen, it looks ridiculous. Definitely works better in a vertically-oriented window.

+9000 like seriously, I get it's mobile "friendly" design, but seriously being unable to display a nav/menu with only 10 items in fullscreen on a 23" 1080p display is the perfect example of a bad UI/UX.

The large font size isn't even to be "mobile friendly" - the site uses media queries to give mobile viewports specific styles.

I wonder what's the point of this trend... the only thing I can think of is the "looks good on my machine" and the mac/retina display resolution maybe? not a mac user so idk... I usually get mockups/prototypes bigger than it should because the designer eyeballed it on his/her machine

Unreadable for me on a MacPro and an iPad. It's not Apple related.

Definitely does not read well from a mac.

if you get the pdf, it is a bit better... mainly because the pdf renders the page narrower so it ends up smaller.

But kind of ironic that a book on web design fundamentally fails on web design.
