An easy way to increase readability would be to use multiple columns. That's how newspapers do it. The web is of course a little different but long lines are a problem.
Note on mobile the width is typically only as wide as the screen, which is good. But mobile is really not good for reading in general.
- gwern 5y agoMultiple columns for wide windows is something I find interesting. I haven't seen anyone do a two-column layout which I find satisfactory. https://breckyunits.com/ https://breckyunits.com/ is a fascinating example, but the layout goes vertically, so the result is bizarre: the most recent article will be cheek by jowl with an old page from 2012. I think it would need be the opposite, wrap horizontally, and scroll-in-place. Something like that. If I ever make another site, I might try to do something along those lines (and maybe use a red/blue centric color scheme).
