Decent styles and markup. I like the simple design, but:
- the font is too small. It's impossible to read on a mobile or tablet. Body font is set to 10pt; comments to 9pt. Just use the browser default size (1em ~= 16px)
- the markup is really bloated for what it does. The nested tables are unnecessary.

Agree about the markup, but the current font is perfect on small phones. Anything larger would have a line length with too few characters to be legible; and reader mode doesn’t work.
