imperfect readability as a slight feature
I like it. This is a way of thinking in web design that is rare imo. Makes me think about the way old.reddit.com (which is the version im used to) is almost intentionally unintuitive, while new.reddit.com is sleek and simple. I have a (slightly elitist) pet theory that the old.reddit design led to higher quality users, because casual people would see it and just NOPE out of there. Only us nerds had time to parse the wall.. Us old smelly nerds..
