The goal here is that people struggling to convince friends and family to talking to a more private platform like for example switching them to signal, Hopefully it can speak their language and help them out here by putting it analogous to realistic scenarios. I hope it will come in handy!
I’ve kept it exclusive yesterday to garnish some feedback and researching how others site to it this is the final form so shoutout to those that helped out.
With that I hope you enjoy
Edit: Now it actually passes the minimum ratio, I apologize for the inconvenience and have fixed the urls issue too, now they’re wrapped!, I’ve also being taken into feedback that I have typos and will check it out.
Again thanks for those…
Edit 2: Addressed typos as per feedback
Edit 3: Upon seeing both, I’ve decided to stick with left aligment. However feel free to let me know if you do have a preference in centered text or something I will try to implement one as such. (will/may require javascript but will remain no JS Friendly for those who want it)
Edit 4: Tried to break lines where I felt would be satisfying as per feedback, however it isn’t a guarantee it satisfied everyone. Then again I do appreciate feedback to improving the experience.
Edit 5: Finally added line spacing and made aligment to justify, hopefully this may address the readability a little more. Again you’re welcome to add feedback to try and improve it…
Edit 6: Per feedback, added padding to site, hopefully it helps
The blog design reminds me of https://digdeeper.neocities.org/, I see that you are beginner in web dev (good luck with your journey), but it is currently hard to read especially for the targeted audience. You can search for blog themes that work without JS, like GitHub - Wonderfall/hugo-WonderMod: A fast, clean, responsive and hardened Hugo theme. which is used by a lot of bloggers that write about priv/sec. Otherwise, try to improve it yourself and make it display correctly on mobile devices, which should be a fun task.
I feel most people dont care and mostly care about the content in it as long as its not the most unintuitive thing to browse
Hi thanks for your feedback. I have used color adobe and made sure it passes the contrast ratio for the font size that it’s in (which is 18px) as it was suggested by eric murphy’s blog which is cleaner when it comes to font size over the default 16px unless it is necessary to make it a bit bigger for readability, whichever you prefer.
I’m willing to sacrifice the grayness of the background to make it as readable as humanly possible but im not sure what you want exactly to make it as readable as you want as im willing to take feedback on.
as for the CSS theme, I’ll consider it though with my rookie skill it seems I prefer to try a more ground up feel and as I said it was supposed to be inspired by my OC so yeah. I’ve realized the criticism for that and decided to make for a darker gray using the tool too…
As for mobile. There is a strange occurrence I noticed, On chromium based (eg. Brave) mobile, the links stretch the page to almost uncomfortable levels when you zoom out, been trying to figure out if just aligning the links on the left will help it out. However firefox/gecko based browsers automatically stretch out the link on mobile to the device width when centered (I have set the necessary element to account for mobile so it should have worked effectively unless im missing something?). Not sure how would other engines react to it but ill still try to fix it in that way see if it helps with chromium based users…
I hope this adds some context to your reply and as I said I hope it comes in handy for those situations.
Thanks for writing about this, every little helps!
It might just be me, but in my wide browser window the lines of text are uncomfortably long and the centered text is also somewhat distracting. Using the browser’s “reading mode” helps, but I think it would help a lot if the site didn’t use such long lines and used left or full justification.
It might also help to try to break up some of the longer sentences. I know that’s something I’m guilty of myself though!
Hi. IDK why it didn’t reflect on you but as I said in the edit I’ve decided to stick with left alignment, Maybe it’s the browser cache kicking in or otherwise the server. Maybe try doing that
As for the lines ill actually maybe do a double break rather than one break hopefully to make it comfortable. Nonetheless thanks for the feedback! Hopefully this will address within the satisfactory territory…
On second thought maybe it’s just me but it feels fine, maybe any stategy for breaking the longer sentences, maybe adding a new line?
Edit: I’ve tried breaking the lines a little, If it still isnt satisfactory dont hesitate to let me know.
Thanks! I’ve just done CTRL-F5 to refresh and I am now seeing left alignment.
The lines are still using the full width of the browser, but I do of course have the option to resize the window if I want (or use reading mode), and there’s an argument that it’s nice to have a choice. I’m not a web developer but I know a lot of websites/blogs use something (CSS?) to restrict the width to a maximum - it’s not quite the same, but this forum has big wide borders at both the left and right sides in my full window browser in order to keep the individual posts at a relatively readable width. I think it would be nice if you could do this, but a) that’s just my opinion b) the left-alignment is already a huge win!
yep, I was just suggested about padding at the other site, And it seems it has a merit so I am working on an appropriate padding, and it’ll be updated so that it does not span the whole screen!
