A comment on the website. I know on HN its popular to have minimal sites. But this is just rediculous. While I also dislike medium, they get the spacing right. This site is awful to read.
Generally lines shouldn't be longer than 700px or so (+/- 100px). Its harder for the eye to stay on the same line when its longer than that.
One line of CSS can fix this and vastly improve the experience.
The font size is tiny, I have to zoom in 50% to easily read. While I can do that, its annoying to have to do so.
That's another 1 line CSS fix. And then one final line of css to center everything.
I'm not asking for an entire site redesign, but literally 3 lines of CSS can vastly improve the end user experience.
CSS needed:
body {
max-width: 700px;
font-size: 20px;
margin: auto;
}
