- tokamak-teapot 5y agoI was just reading it (on mobile) and thinking that it’s perhaps the easiest to read and clearest article I’ve seen for a very long time. Something to do with the headings and short explanations, the visual layout and the simple but not _too_ simple charts. 10/10 for me - but I don’t need the alt text, so I’m not disagreeing the images should have those, especially as they are important to the flow.
- user-the-name 5y agoThis is because doing it as images let you actually properly control the layout, unlike HTML and CSS.
- mjevans 5y agoI think I'd prefer web browsers to understand LaTeX, or a similar open and free as in both liberty and beer standard. Maybe SVG for webpages with URI remote resources would be a good alternative, just something else. I do love simple webpages with minimal resources that don't get in the way of my own preferences and device rendering needs in their quest for pixel perfect publication. HTML and CSS are supposed to be meta-languages that describe to a client how data is structured and simple style elements (that might get over-ridden!).
- stangles1 5y agoI noticed the same when I attempted to search for text on the page, very disappointing.
- mypalmike 5y agoHuh, I didn't notice that initially. I wonder why it was done that way.
- xeromal 5y agoI love the layout. 10x better than most of the blogs posted here.
