I think someone should tell dang that the HN news font is too small. If hundred of people on HN complain about the small font size (including me), then the font size should be increased IMHO.
This is the only website I have browser zoom set up for. I've acclimated, so I just now peeked back at 100% zoom. my god... it's like the entire website is written in subscript
I use most sites at 90% or below, HN is the only site I keep at 100% (across mobile, laptop, and desktop monitors).
Information density is seriously undervalued these days.
It's the same for me. I have it zoomed at 175% and I just zoomed out to 100% and instantly had to go back.
