It's actually funny, the lack of styling actually makes consuming the info alot easier.
- badosu 11mo agoFunny if not tragic. I was impressed at how good the styling of the page was until I realized the css did not load.
- yuters 11mo agoIt is way more readable with CSS, I don't know what you're all on about. The font is bigger, the lines are shorter, the navigation doesn't take half the page. The only thing worse would be the contrast but it's not that bad.
- hbosch 11mo agoThe page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.
- catapart 11mo agoHey, take it easy! It's not nice to pick on those poor developers who can only read text that has been piped into their preferred TUI.
- NewsaHackO 11mo agoYea, "Minimalism is better!" is like a reflex for some people
- raxxorraxor 11mo agoIt often is. Turns out this page does fit the bill, CSS or not.
- spiderice 11mo ago> objectively I do not think that word means what you think it means
- rendaw 11mo agoAll art is a combination of objective and subjective aspects. The objective improvements from css here include: shorter lines are easier to read (per multiple legibility studies), the styling distinguishes navigation and secondary site elements from the main content (without css you get a half screen of navigation links), and the visual importance of in-page anchor links is reduced.
- hbosch 11mo agoI used it to mean that it's inarguably true and unrelated to opinion.
- amelius 11mo agoExcept I like to have some margin. And since I have a wide screen, the number of words per line is too large.
- prmoustache 11mo agoThat is a weird take. Having a wide screen doesn't force you to maximize the window.
- cassepipe 11mo agoI don't know about most people but to me seeing bits of my desktop on the sides of the window I care about feels like visual noise. I like to have all my apps maximized but maybe is that just me ?
- imp0cat 11mo agoHate seeing bits of your desktop showing? Try a tiling window manager, you might like it!
- prmoustache 11mo agoHow having bit of your desktop showing on the sides any different than whatever background image or color a particular website decides to show on each side of the text? I prefer having a quiet single color background and being able to dictate how wide is the text I am reading than being limited by the website owner's choice. But that is also maybe just me.
