- gnicholas 11y agoMy startup [1], which also uses color in order to increase text readability, is launching a pilot program with an on-demand textbook publisher. But your point is well-taken — it has been a long slog to find our first couple publishing partners, even with solid independent research showing benefits for students and other readers. 1: http://www.BeeLineReader.com http://www.BeeLineReader.com
- harlanlewis 11y agoPutting “house” in blue reminds me of House of Leaves, a book that plays with formatting & typography in unusual ways… very minor spoilers …as it descends into madness (blank pages, words in spirals, backwards characters, single-character pages, overlaid paragraphs…). The very first unusual formatting in the book, and spit-take surprising to me as I wasn't expecting anything unusual at all, was simply printing the word “house” in blue. A fun read, thanks for reminding me of it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves#Colors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves#Colors
