I’d like to tinker with that font, it burns my eyes to try and read the words styled like that, maybe that’s the intent?

- jasonthorsness 1y agothe entire page has horizontal lines washed over it
- doubled112 1y agoAt the wrong refresh rate so did my monitor at one point.
- jLaForest 1y agoI imagine the intent is to simulate the look of an old CRT monitor
- zzzeek 1y agoi am fascinated with that effect and turned off every CSS rule on the page I could find but did not identify how you make that effect
- qiqitori 1y agobody::after { content: ""; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 1px, transparent 1px); background-size: 2px 2px; background-repeat: repeat; ...
- evnp 1y agoI love it too. Appears to be accomplished with this CSS, which you can tinker with by finding the :after element at the bottom of the <body> tag in browser devtools: body::after { content: ""; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 1px, transparent 1px); background-size: 2px 2px; background-repeat: repeat; pointer-events: none; z-index: 9999; }
- zzzeek 1y agoi figured that's what it was, but i didnt know how to find it in the browser tools but i missed the "after" part, so yeah it's in the "pseudo-elements". nice!
- Imustaskforhelp 1y agoNot gonna lie, but I liked the vibe, maybe that's what author meant by different tastes :p
- Syntonicles 1y agoIt sent me back in time, very nostalgic. I even took a few minutes to sit and enjoy the moment and remember what it was like to explore the internet on a pixelated CRT in the 90s. I suspect it's a generational gap.
- andy99 1y agoI’m in my mid 40’s, and have been using computers since the mid ‘80s. What generation are you from?
- Syntonicles 1y agoYours. I can't explain your frustration then, or why the author's intent escaped you. If you use Firefox there's a little reader-mode icon in the address bar you may find convenient.
- seatedro 1y agoi am the author! apologies, i will be adding a toggle to disable the scanline effect
- kakuri 1y agoYeah I'm not finding it compelling to listen to someone's ideas about "taste" when they think that font is tasty.
- iLemming 1y agothe real tinkerers skim through that shit in text-based browsers - using their choice of a font and a color theme.
- darreld 1y agoI adore the font and the vibe. Maybe age or something but I love it.
