This is very interesting but, and I'm afraid this might be off topic and pedantic, I had to stop reading because Words, maybe only Nouns, were frequently Cased and Bolded (does bold formatting exist on HN?) which made it very hard for Me to Read and Parse as I kept thinking Things were Proper Names or Titles. Is there a Reason for this Style that I am ignorant of?
- 7373737373 3y agoI found this very annoying too, and thought these were links at first. It can be fixed with: Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("strong")).forEach(strong => strong.style = "font-weight: normal;") in the developer console

- MarioMan 3y agoOnce you have loaded the page, paste exactly the following into the address bar: javascript:Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("strong")).forEach(strong => strong.style = "font-weight: normal;") Safari will refuse and give an error pop up. Chrome will remove “javascript:” from the beginning if you paste, to prevent users from accidentally running arbitrary JS. You can type it back in by hand, and then it will work.
- mcmoor 3y agoIt reminds me of "dyslexic friendly" font that bold some letter in a word, claiming that it'll help the dyslexic read. It also makes it very hard for me to *re*ad and *pa*rse.
