This is the most offensively-themed serious site I have ever seen.
- fnands 2mo agoIn their defense, this probably looked really cool in 2000, when this was published (or at least, last updated). But agreed, that lime green is horrendous.
- jebarker 2mo agoOn purely aesthetic grounds I'll take this over another substack-like site any day of the week.
- energy123 2mo agoIt's fast, legible, dense and ad-free. Can't get any better than this.
- drivers99 2mo agoIn Firefox, I didn't see a reader view available (I wonder what determines that), but I was able to right click, Inspect, change the <body bgcolor="#CCFF33" ...> background to #ffffff Personally, I liked the design when zoomed in when combined with the rest of the page design. It reminds me of the 90s (Wired magazine, etc.). "Updated November 2000". That explains it.
- libria 2mo agoThe view-source is like a portal to Year 2000. Table-based layout, font tags, map/area tags. Only thing missing is an unnecessarily imported jQuery.
- smrq 2mo agoThat would be pretty anachronistic; jQuery didn't come around until six years later.
- NetMageSCW 2mo agoWell since jQuery was 6 years in the future, it is understandable they didn’t use it.
- DStiego 2mo agoThe background is so green that when I go look at a website with white background afterwards, the white will appear like red because the cells for green in my retina have been depleted.
