A side note, but is anyone else experiencing a font size so large as to make it almost unreadable?

Viewing it on my laptop, the CSS font size is set to 2 rem, which means each letter takes up four times as much space as default body text (which is 1 rem, usually 16 px -- so this is 32 px size). Even worse, if you zoom out, it detects that and compensates by setting it to 2.5 rem (40 px), or over 6 times as large in area! It's trying to force bizarrely big-headline-sized body text, even against the user's wishes.

I've seen this bizarre creeping growth of font sizes across some personal blogs over the last decade, but I've never seen a case this extreme.

(And remember that, for comparison, traditional OS UI elements tend to be around the 12 px size and sometime even smaller, so a 32-40 px size is truly gargantuan.)

I actually had the opposite reaction -- on most websites I have to zoom in to 150 - 200% to get it to be readable (HN is at 175% for me). Here I had to do no zooming.

I need to allocate time to fixing the font sizes. I suppose you're on a high-DPI/retina screen. It's not great.

I am experiencing the same thing but I read it anyway because It was an interesting article :)
