Cool, but body font size is too small for comfortable reading!

I agree, but I think it's that small because otherwise, the justified text results in ridiculous spacing. OP, consider reducing the number of columns from 4 to 3 (at least below very wide viewports), increasing the font size, and then also allowing hyphenation. I think the last will help a lot with the justification problem.

I like the concept, the grid and the design. but the small text description is hurting my eyes.

Or have a button that makes the text left-aligned for easier reading.
