Cool, but body font size is too small for comfortable reading!
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoI agree, but I think it's that small because otherwise, the justified text results in ridiculous spacing. OP, consider reducing the number of columns from 4 to 3 (at least below very wide viewports), increasing the font size, and then also allowing hyphenation. I think the last will help a lot with the justification problem.
- iamalizard 4mo agoOr have a button that makes the text left-aligned for easier reading.
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoI think that very much defeats the point of making it look like a newspaper.
- entropie 4mo agoWhich might be fine? Since web pages are not newspaper sites one might say its just not the ideal way of presenting information.
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoThis entire submission is styled to look like a newspaper. If you just want information that's available at news.ycombinator.com.
- Retr0id 4mo agoSounds like an authentic HN experience to me!
- jillesvangurp 4mo agoI keep it at 150% zoom level. That would still be on the small side if it was the default. But at least it's somewhat readable this way.
- daviding 4mo agoAn overridden `.newspaper-copy { font-size: 1rem; }` works well.
- throwawayAAUGGH 4mo agoOP, I love the font size as is, have multiple options if you're going to change things! Remember the users that loved things as they were!
- stagas 4mo agoI did increase it in the meanwhile from when that comment was posted.
- gblargg 4mo agoI whipped up a quick uBO rule to fix that (also makes meta-information lines readable): thefrontpage.dev##p.newspaper-copy:style(line-height: normal !important; font-size: 1rem !important;) thefrontpage.dev##p.article-meta:style(font-size: 1rem !important; font-weight: normal !important; letter-spacing: normal !important;) EDIT: changed to 1rem as someone else suggested
