Shot in the semi-dark: there was a blog post posted here —- I haven’t been able to find it with HN search —- some years ago that started from scartch/browser-defaults and proceeded in like 5 steps to some nice minimal defaults. Not exactly a plain reset; there were some opinionated choices. Step one was something like the parent article. Anyone have an idea what this was, or have some similar recommendations?
- Herodotus38 4y agoI had to through my saved favorites, but I knew what you were talking about. From 5(!) years ago: https://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/ https://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/

- sdoering 4y agoInstantly thought of the same ressource. Still something I recommend regularly to people.
- dmitriid 4y agoGreat, with one nitpick: "Black text on a white background can be harsh on the eyes. Opting for a softer shade of black for body text" Why are people so afraid of black text on white background?! In the end, after all the colors and custom fonts the website has gray text with poor readability which instantly fails WCAG AAA. Had he kept #555 (which is still not ideal), the author would have had a WCAG AAA-compliant design with minimal effort.
- yakubin 4y agoYup. My eyes started getting tired exactly at the point when the text became gray.
- coffeeblack 4y agoWell done step by step presentation. But I still prefer how the page looked initially, without all the styles.
