Side note: the entire site (http://elth.co http://elth.co) appears to be a single-person operation (a side project even — “I am currently put up in the lovely city of Bangalore in India, working for a startup as an Android Engineer.”) Kudos to the creator (OP). Looks to be a very well-done (if click-baity, but hey, that’s how you....well....kind of...get clicks these days) project, and it comes across very much like many of the larger content creators. Care to share some background on the project? Looks like you launched pretty recently. Goals? Am I correct in my assumptions here?

That makes it even more impressive. My first thought when I saw the article was "this is a well designed website". I love the typography!

  Glad to know that you liked the design. I've been working on this for some time now. I'll keep polishing it.

  I like the design and typography too! A quick look at the source suggests that this might be the WordPress theme that the site is based on: https://themeforest.net/item/times-extraordinary-newspaper-magazine-theme/16993958 https://themeforest.net/item/times-extraordinary-newspaper-m...

Hi there, First of all, thanks for going through the mission statement and appreciating what I'm doing with this project. Having worked in a startup for over 2 years now, there's one thing that I have noticed. Most people like their butts glued to their chair and keeping activity to a minimum. I mean like for traveling even 1KM they tend to get a cab. I tried getting some guys to the gym with me or to eat healthy. Some tried. Some didn't. Most of them didn't stick to their healthy habits for long. What I was doing was cheerleading them to health. That's not the push they required. They needed to know what's wrong with their current habits. Why they should be improving their habits. How to do it. That is when this project was born. I wanted to hand out claims that are backed by science in a lucid manner. Also, what I think most blogs do is just say stuff and end the article. I want my readers to take away actionable tips after completing the article. They should be knowing what to do right after reading each article. That's my main aim with this project. Educate, inspire, and influence people towards a better life. To help them decide what's good for them. I launched the site yesterday. Planning to do 1-2 solid articles each week. Thanks again for your kind words. I'm more thrilled to work on this project after reading this comment. Made my day. Watch out for more articles on the blog. Cheers! Rahul
