I've not worked out when firefox reader view is visible and when it isn't, but for this blog it isn't, which is a shame because I find the chosen font unreadable.

I actually just wrote a blog post about this topic: https://videoinu.com/blog/firefox-reader-view-heuristics

In a nutshell, the paragraphs (<p> tags) do not contain enough text to contribute to the readability score. Reader view heuristics rewards paragraphs of at least 140 characters.

yup, this is not a well done blogging platform.

simple != simplistic. "most minimal" != "minimum".

the 'just read' chrome/edge extension does work, and vastly improves readability of the produced html.
