My vision isn’t great and I do find it more difficult to read comfortably than most sites. I haven’t checked the actual contrast ratio, but for this particular font and size the text color feels like it’s lacking strong contrast against the background. The tabs at the top are even more difficult to read comfortably than.
replyBut I understand that sites that look this way are not made for maximum legibility, but as an in-group signifier.
The text flows over the whole width is one point, the paddings and margins is another one. Sure, you can read this if you really want, but it's painful.
replyI would like to introduce a wild concept -- browser window is resizable.
replyDo you think I will resize my browser window just because you fucked up your layout? No, I will leave.
replysure, but I prefer this layout to majority of big tech today.
replyGives me flexibility and choice and does not punish me with 600px wide content box because majority of users have trouble grasping the concept of window management.
Fair enough, I'd say for niche content it may be okay, but for targeting broader audiences I'd guess you lose many readers with that readability on fullscreen browser windows (what most people will have in front of them while surfing I guess).
