the lack of line-spacing and long lines make it even worse.

  Yep - the line height is too cramped. Also it is black on grey so the contrast is probably not as good as it could be? I note on the https://www.opendyslexic.org/ https://www.opendyslexic.org/ page that the line spacing is much larger and they use what appears to me to be higher-contrast colours. I am allegedly dyslexic (still not sure if the school just labelled me as that since I had some trouble spelling as a 5 year old, of if I really am dyslexic) and that page is a nightmare to read. It genuinely makes my eyes hurt to try and read that combination of font and spacing - I dont want to criticise like this, but unfortunately its tough for me to look at that and read it. I'd recommend improving things by: - try changing the background to white, and change the foreground to a dark-grey (not 100% black). - use large line-spacing and padding to break things out a bit to make it easier on the eye. - As well as an option of being all-caps or not, offer sans and serif font options.
