      @danluu I recommended one of your articles to a reading group at work and some (justifiably?) had a pretty negative reaction to the formatting. Any thoughts on some basic css (line spacing, margins?) to help readability? Could even be a future topic.

      I believe I read every empirical study that exists on this topic as of about two years ago. If there's some empirical evidence that I should change my settings that I haven't seen, I'd be happy to read it.

      I was considering writing a blog post on this, but when I've run this by typography people the've been *extremely* condescending on this topic (but have no actual evidence to point to and just appeal to their own authority), didn't really want more hate mail at the time.

          Maybe ignore typographers and consider accessibility? I know little about formatting text for, say, dyslexic folks but generally the recommendations include using wider line spacing, sans serif fonts, and avoiding full black/white text/background.

          And in the theme that accessibility choices improve the experience for everyone, I certainly would prefer these changes for myself as well. But if your bar is empirical study, then I'll get back to you.

          The biggest problem surely is the wide columns, but you can just fix that yourself by resizing the browser window. Maybe people just forget they can do that.

          I'm not sure that asking all users to resize their browser windows just to have a comfortable reading experience makes for especially good UX! I have to say, I enjoy Dan's content, but always have to read it in 'Reader View' because the line length is just uncomfortable otherwise

      Loading seems to be taking a while.

      Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
