Show HN: The most popular newspaper in Denmark, and its insane font sizes
- gnicholas 5y agoThis reminds me of Chase's website, circa 2017. Even if you were on desktop, it loaded like you were on a smartphone in portrait orientation. And the buttons were oversized tap targets; the whole thing was comical.
- ChrisArchitect 5y agoit's extreme, but it's just a style choice - it's not like the internal/individual articles have that all over the place. Eye-catching. Harks to billboards/public ad posters etc. Good for them for trying something outside the box on a news site.
- tomcam 5y agoI guess I can regardless as the most mobile-friendly site ever

- mlN90 5y agoYou zoom out in your browser and you'll be able to read 10 article headlines at once. Eb.dk works the same way. The bonus is, if you aren't blocking ads; they'll be too small to notice.
- arp242 5y agoSomething I've noticed in general with homepages of many news sites is that they're all so chaotic. Back in the day the Dutch nrc.nl and volkskrant.nl simply had a linear view, but now it's all chaotic. Many sites are like this. Waking up in the morning and "let's check all the news of the last day" far harder than it needs to be. At least this one is linear, in spite of the somewhat ridiculous font size.
- Springtime 5y agoIt's like a font specimen page but with live content
- ChrisArchitect 5y agoSorry, you made this? Show HN generally reserved to display project work of your own. Change title if not
- snihalani 5y agowtX is this. Why do they do this? I had to browse @ 30% to make sense
- shp0ngle 5y agoProbably just going fully "mobile first" and not caring about desktop at all, or only as an afterthought.
- AnonHP 5y agoThis shouldn’t have Show HN in the title since it’s not the submitter’s work. It’s an editorialized submission, which could probably be posted as a Tell HN, perhaps?
- tpmx 5y agoYep, sorry about that. Too late too edit now apparently.
- p2hari 5y agoYeah, this is my primary news source and it is mess to open it on both mobile(Samsung Note 10 plus, to give an idea of form factor) and desktop. Text constantly overflows the boxes. Font sizes are all over. Comments, action buttons are all messed up. :) The print version is also the same but more on lines of any newspaper.
- justsomeuser 5y agoI like it. Most websites split your focus into a million visual things showing at the same time. This forces your focus to a single element. It’s quite calming compared to other news sites. I only speak English though.
