I am amazed at this page's CSS. The body text is small so I hit command-+ to make it bigger... and it gets smaller instead. Reset and hit command--... and it also gets smaller. And reader mode's broken.

It's because the "body text" is actually a screenshot of text, for some bizarre reason.

    I’m not sure why people are downvoting you. The site is a collection of links to other written pieces posted on other sites. To make it visually interesting they decided to add screenshots for each entry which is an entirely reasonable thing to do. It’s what every single gallery site does. What would a better alternative be? Adding iframes?

    I'm downvoting because of the insulting addendum.

      he was downvoted before editing it in so it still makes no sense

        I'm confused by your comment. I'm one person giving one downvote. I downvoted when I saw the insult. I'm not speaking on behalf of any other downvoters.

  Heh, and as the real text in the left and right sidebars scales, the article preview shrinks. Needs some constraints on the centre column.

Pinch-to-zoom works on mobile (Android) for this site, since each post/article is just an image with a heading. Swiping up to see the next post/article also retains the zoom, but the fonts & sizes in the posts/articles are not consistent, so we may need to zoom again to make the content fit better on the screen or to make it more legible. The site reminds me of one of the glorious tools of the old Web - StumbleUpon (integrated as a browser toolbar) - which allowed to jump to random sites upvoted/liked by users. During its heydays, it even allowed users to host their own webpages, and interact in community forum, so like-minded strangers could discuss their fave topics and share nice new finds (websites, tools, etc.).

Yeah, really bad UX. Unreadable. I zoomed on Firefox on MacOS and the two finger scroll stops working. The scrollbar appears momentarily so I grabbed it but it jumps to the next article and scrolls left, which pushes the next article off the page to the right.

> I hit command-+ to make it bigger... and it gets smaller instead. Reset and hit command--... and it also gets smaller. Fun fact, this also occurs on HN on android/chrome when going from 100% to 110% :) And yes it's infuriating when you're just trying to enlarge text.
