> This website has a horrible, no good, very bad layout and is difficult to read
- loads immediately
- font size that's readable when zooming to fit the paragraphs width to the screen of phone
- no auto playing video
- no various modals popping up
- no need to click extra things to expand texts
I have no idea what you're talking about, this is one of the more readable websites on my phone
- doodlebugging 6y agoAll of the features that you point out do make it quite clean and easy to load. I visited on a desktop and in that visitor mode the reader sees a wide bar of rock on each side of a compressed text field amounting to ~60% of the screen width. The story is told in the remaining ~40% of the screen between the two grey bars on the rock border. Inside that ~40%, the actual text field uses ~2/3 of the width to tell the story and deliver the photos, etc. Only ~25% of the screen width is used to tell the story and as a result the user spends a lot of time scrolling through the story unnecessarily. Making effective use of screen real estate wasn't one of the things the site is optimized for. All that noted, it is still quite worth reading the story. The author has included a long bibliography of sources at the end and the story, though repetitious in spots, ends up being believable as he has related it.
