The fonts on HN are a bit small. I have my browser set for HN to get a 125% magnification. The comment text is a nice #000000, but the rest of the text is #828

The fonts on HN are a bit small. I have my browser set for HN to get a 125% magnification.
The comment text is a nice #000000, but the rest of the text is #828282, which is insufficiently contrasty. Lighthouse flags this, as well as some other accessibility issues.
I notice that on mobile the front page will sometimes have tiny text and if I reload then it will be larger. I'm not sure why the non-deterministic behavior there.
The line length of about 144 is uncomfortably long. It should be about half that. Line height of 1.5 would improve readability as well.
