The font is unreadable, very thin
- jzcoder 4y agoI immediately close a page dense in text and using a thin font like Lato or Raleway.
- modzu 4y agoim never happy no matter what i do
- julienreszka 4y agoI agree.
- j-bos 4y agoI like the thin font on mobile.
- fillest 4y agoOn mobile it is indeed at least not blurry but still harder to read..
- jamesgpearce 4y agoOuch, tough crowd, but fair enough! I wonder if I should have a font-weight (or -family) toggle alongside the dark mode setting. Would be a shame for people to miss out on reading about the software because of the typography!
- klabb3 4y ago> Ouch, tough crowd Meta: hacker news is known for this, but it's really not personal (modulo very few mean folks). People have an adversarial mindset and will poke holes in everything, even things that are awesome. If the biggest critique against your project is the font (superficial) you can interpret is as an absence of more fundamental criticism. Fonts and fancy looking things in particular tend to be critizised extra hard if it interferes with accessibility or scroll (scroll jacking comes with capital punishment in the hacker news universe). If you want 0 critique the safest option is #000 Times New Roman on #fff background. Then you will please the hacker news zeitgeist (at the expense of everyone else).
- jamesgpearce 4y agoYep, I guess I should be thankful if that's the main complaint! And thanks for the spec for the 'basic typography' toggle option :)
