What can I possibly learn about web design from someone who can't even have the font display at a reasonable size? Please fix this. You shouldn't have to zoom in / zoom out for your website to be usable to people with perfectly fine eyesight.

#32The text espouses a lovely idea, but it seems to be talking about practises that died about a decade ago now.
Nobody does build progressively enhanced websites anymore, its an all or nothing mess of the latest javascript memes and nightly-build browser features.
I really wish sites did fall back to just showing basic content when confronted with an odd browser but it just doesn't happen, browsing the web on my Kindle gets kinda painful outside of HN. The pixel perfect stranglehold designers seem to have on websites is still in place, they are insistent on building "experiences" exact to their specifications instead of just providing information in whatever way works best at the moment.

#34I find complaints about "big font" bizarro. It's made so that a reasonable amount of letters/words fits on each row, the same as its the norm for ages in print and elsewhere. Obviously the bigger you can get the font AND keep that property, the better.
Are you reading from a mobile device perchance? I expect it would look fine on one. But I can assure you, it does not look fine on the desktop. I have literally one header and a four sentence paragraph on my screen right now.
No, a desktop (well, laptop) hooked to a 24" UHD screen.
It shows a header and ~3 paragraphs.

#36It is a shame people here can't get past the font size because it is a really well written and interesting book. Just zoom it down to the desired size and enjoy.
