They use the "desaturated" hn text as an infringing example. Shots fired!
I'm totally on board with their thesis and was about to come here and sing their praises, but then I found that they've annoyingly conflated page links and anchor links so the back button didn't do what I expected it to.
In any case playing whack-a-mole with modern web design flaws seems worthwhile to me so I'm in favour.
- enlyth 4y agoYeah the desaturated text on HN is confusing. It is for example, applied to flagged posts, so I first associated the lower contrast with being flagged, but then I noticed it is also applied to self posts like Ask HN or Show HN, and I kept wondering why are all these people getting flagged? Turns out it is just the way it is. Not to mention it's also hard to read. While this website works well and has a great community, it is kind of the embodiment of this meme: https://twitter.com/TheProgrammerMe/status/1652882490359681024 https://twitter.com/TheProgrammerMe/status/16528824903596810...
