I want to like it, but it doesn't seem to be functional in a TUI browser (tried elinks, lynx, and eww). I guess maybe I'll try it when I'm on a babylon computer.

Howdy,

well, I did not get far. Typography is a thing. And me having problems with my eye sight ... well

black letters (good!) on midgrey background ? (no, not good)
P a G e S --- composed of several Glyphs not in the same "cut"? not so good. This also is not good for screen readers, because of the spaces, which dissolve the "word" into separate characters.
the text is at least displayed to me with a serif Font. I tend to prefer those, so good.
sidebar: white letters on dark grey, readable ok; black letters on that same dark grey, well no, not good.

While you are at it:

Now, if your readers are all young with splendid eye sight, they won't even notice.

I feel a bit bad, because I know that putting together text is a lot of work. And maybe I should configure my web-browser harshly to use only a small list of fonts at all.

Have something to drink, like tea or lemonade, depending on your ambient temperature, it's on me!

Cheers!

Edit: I'm also one of those strange old blokes, who travel the interwebs with JavaScript turned OFF unless really needed.
