Love things like this. This is why I can't stop reading HN.
I disagree about the font-size. I say go very small (pack more info on a screen). Very easy for people to make it bigger. People have known this for hundreds of years (old newspapers pack in the text, older readers can wear spectacles or use magnifying glass).
- coldtea 4y ago>I disagree about the font-size. I say go very small (pack more info on a screen) Why, is it a contest who can cram the more? People can always scroll, and they know how to do that better than they know how to increase the text (not to mention most read on mobile phones, were even fewer know how to change the text size) >old newspapers pack in the text, older readers can wear spectacles or use magnifying glass Seems like the worst argument one could chose in favor of this idea...
- simonw 4y ago"Very easy for people to make it bigger" I wonder if that's true for the average (non-nerd) user on a smartphone though. They can likely pinch-and-zoom, but that's a terribly way of reading text since you constantly have to pan back and forth. Have they definitely found the text size adjustment buttons?
- shadowofneptune 4y agoI've moved towards a larger size with the knowledge that I'll have trouble reading small text in 20 years. With the state of modern medicine, most people reading this will be old for a long time.
- pGuitar 4y agoI tend to agree but modern designers are doing the opposite and post the least amount of content in a specified amount of space. I bet that they will come to their senses eventually.
