I use Tufte CSS stylesheet (very slightly modified) on my blog/static generator. I like it for its focus on plain text and clarity over flashy presentation. Some people have complained about the font - serif fonts are out of style on the web but I find it easy on the eye.
The biggest problem I have found is that it really doesn't have a great answer for vertical mobile screens. It works, but I find the layout sub-optimal. I decided it was acceptable though.
These two posts demonstrate what I was going for the best:

- cujo 9y agoI don't find the font style a problem, but the size is so large that I find myself retreating from the screen.
- brightrhino 9y agoAs I shrank the safari window on Mac on your site, there is a point when the font size jumps up to be huge, that seems like a bug.
- chapium 9y agoI have the opposite issue. In Safari iOS the right margin is consuming 1/4 of my screen, causing the text to shift to a narrow column.
- AndrewStephens 9y agoYes, it is a bug (in my modifications, not in tufte.css itself), or at least an unintended side effect. It is on my list of things to revisit but I am prioritizing writing posts instead of futzing around with the styles. The general layout of Tufte.css really wants to be larger in the horizontal direction to fit in the side notes. This causes problems for people who read the page in a narrow window or on cell phones.
