Perhaps I am just being nitpicky, and I have no comments on the content or intent of the site (not my industry / area) but grey/blue text on the night sky blue

Perhaps I am just being nitpicky, and I have no comments on the content or intent of the site (not my industry / area) but grey/blue text on the night sky blue background with white for emphasis really threw me whilst trying to read the text on the site. It may also have to do with Linux's crappy font rendering but I found it unreasonably hard to look at.
In my experience, there are few good colours that remain readable on text, and I personally find serif fonts visually displeasing in most cases, although there are some exceptions (https://www.nytimes.com/ https://www.nytimes.com/) and even then, the light grey on white background is pretty displeasing.
I wish you all the best in your endeavour!
- YazIAm 8y agoThe goal is to enable journalists/bloggers to annotate their content with their fact checking. Allowing their readers to audit to and to contribute to the fact checking for themselves. In other words, enabling journalists to "show their work". Thanks for the feedback about the colours, I'll play around with it!
- v_lisivka 8y agoIt doesn't look like "fact checking". It looks like "citation checking". More popular but wrong opinion will take over less popular but correct one. Fact checking need a court like system, with judges. Contact me, if you interested. I have lot of real world experience with that.
- YazIAm 8y agoSo this differs from regular citations in that: 1) only primary sources are accepted 2) the claim and primary source must be verified by a community of fact checkers Definitely happy to chat though, will send you an email!
