What the fuck did you do to your text? It's impossible to read.

Ah. Seems like the effect varies from person to person I guess. Are there any studies on it? I'm kinda interested now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I tried searching for research on it, but only found results claiming this didn't work... Not actual scientific research, but better than "we think this should work, so now we'll try selling it"

It's easier to scan and for the brain to process

My brain does not like. It's stunlocked asking "why is this bold?" over and over again even though I already answered.

I’d never get past this. If a website forced this on me I’d probably stop using it, otherwise I’d just override it with CSS.

I might be able to read this on light mode but, on dark mode + that layout it's hard

not as bad as the 1 word speed reader but still it's almost impossible to focus on. I'm impressed that you are able to

I see you using bionic reading.
Does it really help at all? Genuinely curious.

Not OP, i never heard of it before, but looking at the screenshot I just find it distracting.

It forces me to read everything as though I'm reading Shakespeare, except the cadence never really comes. Now I feel itchy and angry at my monitor for showing me this

I guess that that’s all that matters.

Did it take time to get used to or did it work straight away?

Is this post about Github seemingly detecting an incorrect licence? The project was relicenced in a later commit, so I dont think this behavior is entirely wrong.

What should it do instead? I think the only reasonable action would be not showing it if the licence file was changed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

IMO it should be re-recognizing it every time the license file is changed, but only showing a "click here to learn more about different licenses" would also be much better
