The random word highlighting makes it hard to read for me.
- 000ooo000 1y agoYeah the 3 word lines one after another is god awful.
- jcolman 1y agoThis is a table of contents. Those are the names of sections. You can click on them to go to pages of more normally formatted paragraphs.
- WaltPurvis 1y agoThe paragraphs on all pages are formatted quite narrowly, displaying only 3 - 6 words per line. If this bothers people, it can also be changed with Stylebot or the like, using a rule like this to change the max-width, which is set to 400px, to a larger value: p, ul, li { max-width: 800px; }
- 000ooo000 1y agoThanks - my mistake. I thought this was some really bad LinkedIn style content.
- roxolotl 1y agoI suspect that’s how they help you make sense of a mess. If you can get through the styling you can survive anything.
- frereubu 1y agoThis should definitely be an option you can turn on or off.
- SilverSlash 1y agoSo far I'm not finding it that bothersome but I'm thinking of vibe coding a chrome extension to remove the highlighting.

- bildung 1y agoFrom the start of the book: "Each time you see a word that is highlighted, [...] it means that this term is a lexicon enabled term. By clicking on that term, you will see a page listing all other uses of that term within the book."
- gowld 1y agoVery helpful for people who need to be constantly reminded to have top-of-mind instant access to the definition of words like "thing" and "what", at all times.
- WaltPurvis 1y agoIf you have Stylebot or the like installed, you can get rid of the highlighting with: a { background-color: transparent; }
- nodoodles 1y agoHere's a bookmarklet: javascript:document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(el => el.style.backgroundColor = 'transparent')
- jennyholzer 1y agoI am highly impressed by the lexicon feature, but I think it would be nice if you could disable the highlighting
