Hacker News Reader

Really? Red thin text on white background? I'm sorry, I will not read it. Is this the purpose of this site? What's the sense in writing something normal people cannot read?

And yet it gets to the 1st page on HN, no one complains, and my comment will get huuuge number of negative points, I know, as usually when someone posts a comment about this kind of bad design of a page/author people worship.

I liked the red text. It's a very well designed layout, and the color choice - while arguably questionable - gives it personality. Not every site needs to look the same.

The fact that it has a lot of upvotes shows that aparently many people don't have issues with the presentation.

Anyway, my browser has a "reader" mode that lets me make any website readable with a single click, so I've stopped complaining about hard-to-read aticles. Better to focus on the substance of the article...
