Show HN: The most popular newspaper in Denmark, and its insane font sizes

This shouldn’t have Show HN in the title since it’s not the submitter’s work. It’s an editorialized submission, which could probably be posted as a Tell HN, perhaps?

Sorry, you made this? Show HN generally reserved to display project work of your own. Change title if not

Something I've noticed in general with homepages of many news sites is that they're all so chaotic. Back in the day the Dutch nrc.nl and volkskrant.nl simply had a linear view, but now it's all chaotic. Many sites are like this.

Waking up in the morning and "let's check all the news of the last day" far harder than it needs to be.

At least this one is linear, in spite of the somewhat ridiculous font size.

Yeah, this is my primary news source and it is mess to open it on both mobile(Samsung Note 10 plus, to give an idea of form factor) and desktop. Text constantly overflows the boxes. Font sizes are all over. Comments, action buttons are all messed up. :) The print version is also the same but more on lines of any newspaper.

it's extreme, but it's just a style choice - it's not like the internal/individual articles have that all over the place. Eye-catching. Harks to billboards/public ad posters etc. Good for them for trying something outside the box on a news site.

This reminds me of Chase's website, circa 2017. Even if you were on desktop, it loaded like you were on a smartphone in portrait orientation. And the buttons were oversized tap targets; the whole thing was comical.

I like it. Most websites split your focus into a million visual things showing at the same time.

This forces your focus to a single element. It’s quite calming compared to other news sites. I only speak English though.

You zoom out in your browser and you'll be able to read 10 article headlines at once. Eb.dk works the same way. The bonus is, if you aren't blocking ads; they'll be too small to notice.

At the cookie warning, choose “Kun nødvendige”: “Only necessary”.

I guess I can regardless as the most mobile-friendly site ever

It's like a font specimen page but with live content

wtX is this. Why do they do this? I had to browse @ 30% to make sense
