FWIW, I found reading the story quite pleasant. It never even occurred to me that there was any problem with the site until I saw all the complaints in the HN comments.
In retrospect I can of course see the low contrast, but it didn't seem to be a problem in practice.
It also worked pretty well to emphasize the pictures, which really are the main point...
- logn 13y agoI think that's because the brightness on your monitor is very high. I keep the brightness knocked down since most sites use a lot of white, and I don't like reading off lightbulbs. This blog actually looks nice when I crank the brightness up, but then a site like HN (which is a typical website) looks terrible.
- snogglethorpe 13y ago> I think that's because the brightness on your monitor is very high You'd be incorrect, then, as the brightness on my monitor isn't very high (indeed, I hate overly bright displays so I keep it somewhat dim)... :]
