I hope it's okay if I go a little off-topic to talk about the design of this site...
Does anyone else have an issue with gray fonts and low font-weights? Gray text has been popular for a long time (HN has a heavy dose of it, for example), but the lightweight fonts seem to be a new trend. The contrast between text and background is just getting worse and worse, to the point that I need to have stylish installed just to make some sites readable. I feel like designers are designing for ideal setups like their own, and they're forgetting about people like me.
Hi! I picked this theme indeed because I thought it looked the best on my screen. Would using a heavier font help? Or maybe just setting the font color to true black?
Yeah, I toggled back and forth between the site and mobile Safari's Reader, and the low contrast between the text and the background is bothersome. When I switch Reader on, my eyes heave a sigh of relief.
