Cool, but body font size is too small for comfortable reading!

Sounds like an authentic HN experience to me!

I keep it at 150% zoom level. That would still be on the small side if it was the default. But at least it's somewhat readable this way.

OP, I love the font size as is, have multiple options if you're going to change things! Remember the users that loved things as they were!

I did increase it in the meanwhile from when that comment was posted.

[gblargg]

I whipped up a quick uBO rule to fix that (also makes meta-information lines readable):

    thefrontpage.dev##p.newspaper-copy:style(line-height: normal !important; font-size: 1rem !important;)
    thefrontpage.dev##p.article-meta:style(font-size: 1rem !important; font-weight: normal !important; letter-spacing: normal !important;)

EDIT: changed to 1rem as someone else suggested

I agree, but I think it's that small because otherwise, the justified text results in ridiculous spacing.

OP, consider reducing the number of columns from 4 to 3 (at least below very wide viewports), increasing the font size, and then also allowing hyphenation. I think the last will help a lot with the justification problem.

Or have a button that makes the text left-aligned for easier reading.

[Wowfunhappy]

I think that very much defeats the point of making it look like a newspaper.

[entropie]

Which might be fine? Since web pages are not newspaper sites one might say its just not the ideal way of presenting information.

This entire submission is styled to look like a newspaper. If you just want information that's available at news.ycombinator.com.

An overridden `.newspaper-copy { font-size: 1rem; }` works well.
