I like the idea. I've used services like this before. I do wonder if monospaced font is really the best route. It makes anything longer than a couple hundreds words a pain to read.
- petters 10y agoThis. Bringhurst's fantastic "Elements of Typographical Style" is still relevant.
- searchfaster 10y agoNever realized how uncomfortable it is to read a paragraph of monospaced font text, even though I read 1000s of lines of code in monospaced font without any issues.
- photojosh 10y agoNo paragraphs of comments in your code? ;)
- searchfaster 10y agoNo.. may be my code is just not worth commenting ;)
- xeeeeeeeeeeenu 10y agoIMO the only reason why it's unreadable is font size.

- etjossem 10y agoAgreed. Since it accepts Markdown for blocks of code, the default should not be monospace.
- chestervonwinch 10y agoMaybe I'm in the minority, but I enjoy reading in monospace. And I certainly prefer it over a sans-serif font with font-weight set to 0.01 and poor contrast!
- diiaann 10y agoYeah, it's pretty painful to read. If they are anti-webfonts, I think Georgia could be a good option. For me the monospace text is difficult to read for longer text because I can't chunk as effectively.
