Disabling the Josephin Sans font makes it much more readable in Firefox on my FHD Dell laptop. The letters are too short and thick. I really wish designers use conservative values of font family, weight and size.

Top priority for me! Thank you for poiting this out

Second. This site will be a welcome addition to my morning read, but that rather unique font is taxing to my eyes.

Hi everyone! I'm Dawid, the Founder and CEO of Bootstrap Shuffle during the day and a reader interested in science at any other time. According to the study[1], emotional people (I am one of them) overestimate the knowledge they acquire by reading just the titles of articles shared on Facebook.

Also, who are the summarizers? Hand picked? Volunteers? I'm not assuming any kind of ill-will or mal-intent, but how do I know that the bullet points will…

Yes, we are summarizing articles "manually". You raised a valid point (bias) and to be honest, I don't have an answer right now. We will create about us/FAQ page for sure. I need at least a few hours to think about it.

I have been looking at this all day trying to decide how I feel about it. At the very least it is temptingly informative, which I think makes it a success. I appreciate that the summaries are manual and if bias concerns you (it should and apparently does) then just acknowledging a potential bias would be taking an appropriate nod from the scientific community.

Hi Dawid, really useful resource! I would like to try a similar site for another industry/field. Can you tell me how you built the site/what theme you used?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. As I said in comments earlier, I created the theme by myself using https://bootstrapshuffle.com
