- sheensleeves 12y agoThe presentation of Websites is to HN as "sharp knees" are Fark.
- freehunter 12y agoSharp knees is generally snark meant to imply that the person being discussed is attractive. Bad web design is a legitimate concern, and is something that is often found in articles linked on HN when designers get a little too experimental.
- untog 12y agoYes, but criticising this site's font as being hard to read is a stretch. It's fine. HN will be critical of anything that isn't stock sans-serif in black on white.
- freehunter 12y agoIt might not be impossible or even difficult to read for you or I, but remember that every OS displays fonts a little differently, indeed some browsers may display differently, and different monitors display a little differently. People could be having a vastly different experience from what you or I have. There's a reason sans-serif black-on-white is the default, and why people ask for it. It's easy to read no matter what. That's why Readability exists. And for what it's worth, at first glance I find this page difficult to read as well on a 1080p 15" monitor. The font makes me have to focus on one line and one word at a time, where in stock sans serif I can skim. That's what happens when you try to translate text that works fine in a novel and put it on a computer screen. You would never see a newspaper or a textbook printed in this fashion. Because it's harder to read.
