it's a nice technical article but the charts are just terrible and seem blurry even when zoomed in.

Yea Wordpress was a terrible platform and Substack is also a terrible platform. I don't know why every platform wants to take a simple uploaded PNG and apply TAA to it. And don't get me started on how Substack has no native table support, when HTML had it since prehistoric times.

If I had more time I'd roll my own site with basic HTML/CSS. It's not even hard, just time consuming.

TAA is temporal anti-aliasing, correct? There is no time dimension here, isn't it just compression + bilinear filtering?

It was a joke about blurriness. To extend the joke, be glad it doesn't flicker and shimmer.

But yes, platforms usually apply compression in terrible ways, and it's especially noticeable coming from text and straight line stuff like graphs

Thanks for clarifying, went right over my head!

Ghost as an alternative? They’ll let you sign up paying subscribers as well.
