Ending our Medium integration

Seriously I get that they want the 'shit plain look to scare off normal people' schtick but it's also terrible for accessibility.

For being a company that beats the inclusive and equality drum they seem to go out of their way to make it impossible for people who don't have incredible dexterity or eyesight to use this site.

I love the simple layout but make it accessible to everyone.

I was going to disagree with you on the sites accessibility but after taking a closer look it is pretty bad, though for different reasons. Tables everywhere, missing alt tags, doc language missing, no form labels..

As far as aesthetics I actually like the current site. It serves its purpose well IMO. The real accessibility issues should be addressed per WCAG.

I've been using hn.premii.com for years now ... also available as apps across iOS, Android and Windows UWP. Gives me an optimal reading experience on all my devices, but I'm mostly a lurker so YMMV.

try opera mobile browser. it has a nice zoom feature where the text will always word wrap to fit on the screen!
