Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I changed the css of marxists.org using Stylus. I think it ended up pretty good.

Do you do something similar? Even if it's just changing the font on the ebook reader?

I use Koreader with the Atkinson Hyperlegible font, and read on an ereader! That and prolewiki, set to sepia usually.

Thanks for letting me know about this font! I liked it

[–] Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago

No problem!

I use Firefox's builtin reader mode when reading articles on the web.

The first one is much more readable for me.

The only thing that I don't like on marxists.org is the large paragraph width, though. This one looks a bit better for me (Font: Source Serif 4):

Pretty big waste of space with black bars, but it's nice for focus. I did think that the right side of the screenshot looked good.

(edited because I sounded pretentious)

That looks nice, and I agree about the paragraph width. I’m a fan of double-page view on landscape layouts because I read better when I can see contextual pages.

[–] TabularTuxedo@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh yeah, I love double-page view too. Calibre's default setting of page A - page B --> page turn -->page B - page C is the best in my opinion.

Maybe it's possible to do this with Javascript for the online page. I'll see if I can do that in the future. As for now, saving page in PDF works.

That's pretty smart. I usually just try to find the epubs so I can use my own reader w/ its styles, but not everything is in epub form.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Shit, why didn't I ever think about doing this...
