It may not have a zillion libraries, but surprised that a site trying to be zippy uses low-contrast text (obviously, I am not a fan of the "increases engagement time" school of thought).
- iskander 3y agoIt's pretty readable at their large font size
- Aachen 3y agoAgreed. I feel like I'm always the first in my company to complain when someone proposes a too-thin or too-light font style or color, but this read fine for me. I'd move away from monospace if anything, but I take that as a stylistic choice they made even if it hurts readability a little (not like thin gray that's used without even noticing: the dev already knows what's written there, or doesn't care if it's lorem ipsum, and checks the font only for form instead of also for function).
- zh3 3y agoIs that a condemnation by faint praise? :) Could be because I'm reading on desktop and it works better on mobile.
- iskander 3y agoI'm on a laptop and it looks totally fine to me.
- CharlesW 3y agoIt passes minimum (AA) contrast recommendations but fails enhanced (AAA) contrast recommendations. I also wouldn't settle for it on a site I'm responsible for.
- lelanthran 3y agoThere might be something wrong with your display setup. He is using, as far as I can tell, the solarised theme colours. They are very readable.
- zh3 3y agoCould be but most sites render fine. Pretty stock setup, Dell monitors on Nvidia graphics, no tweaking.
- lelanthran 3y agoDoes this site look the same to you? [EDITED] https://www.rundata.co.za https://www.rundata.co.za It's my site, also using solarised (although, it respects the clients dark/light mode, so you will see either solirsed dark or solarised light)
