Eh, I dunno. Websites have definitely gotten over-complicated and quite annoying. But this retro “look like a terminal” style seems like the wrong direction.

I like fixed width fonts in a terminal where it is very likely that I’ll have to interact with columns of text as a thing.
For reading, I mean, LaTeX was invented a million years ago, and can produce nicely formatted text. That should be the target IMO. If you want to copy something retro, copy an old magazine, they were nicely designed.
But I mean, I’ll take this over a program trying to run in my browser, lol.
