Sites these days love their whitespace, don't they, but now the content is fading. At this rate, in 7 years most websites will just be pointless while rectangles. Still, should save on the server costs as it'll cache well.
- sp332 11y agoFunny, your comment is the lightest one on this page.
- dave2000 11y agoYes, they do that to make it harder to read.
- andrewpe 11y agoI don't understand your complaint. Out of all the articles I've read lately this page seems to be easiest to read. It focuses on just the content and formats it well.
- sp332 11y agoThe text is grey instead of black. It probably looks fine on most monitors, but I can see how it might exacerbate readability issues. It's become some kind of received wisdom that body text shouldn't be black anymore, I just don't understand it.
- dave2000 11y agoMy complaint is that grey text is harder to read than black. People could have made text grey years ago if it were better; it doesn't require hardware or new protocols. It's just a trend. It'll die out, but until then - given browsers don't allow the user much in the way of control over how content is presented to the user - it's annoying.
