[x] Readable

[x] Loaded fast

[x] No moving parts

[x] Don't mess with scroll

[x] No autoplaying videos

No, it definitely isn't the worst I've seen.

I gotta put a big, giant X next to "Readable."

I have HN at 170% zoom right now. I keep most of my font sizes around 14pt minimum. I have one useless eye and another that isn't so great even corrected with contact lenses.

Give me more web design trends that emphasize fonts at a readable size AND color contrast with the background color. Dark gray Calibri Thin on a light gray background might impress some design nerds but I'll take large, margined, justified text well set from its background any day of the week.

Did you view it on a larger screen? I viewed it in mobile, I appreciate the design, but I do find it hard to read with only a few words fitting on a single line. I wonder if the poster you replied to also viewed it on mobile.

Even when I hold my phone sideways, reading such short lines fatigues my eyes quickly.
