I might be old and crotchety, but that post is the opposite of a distraction-free reading experience. I count at least 6 fonts, 3 different background colors, 3 text colors, excessive whitespace on the borders, images that break that whitespace, animations, all pictures interrupt the flow of text...

I find it ironic that the background of the page keeps changing from light to dark and that the article is interspersed with images including a GIF.

Ya the switch to white font on dark bg is no good.

Here's a fix:

   $('.blue-grey').css("background-color","#F0F0F0").css("color","#0F0F0F")

The change of background colors is a deliberate design choice. The content is long and the background helps the reader, especially on mobile, to understand in which section he currently is.

It's a presentation in the form of an article. Same content, different medium.
