Idk man, I think it's pretty charming even if it's not exactly the design choice I'd have gone with.

1. There is a link to a demo website, which is in fact in similar style.

2. I don't think the website is _nearly unreadable_.

3. Pretty rude remark.

Troll trots out the old "You should only be allowed the web site aesthetic I approve of and anyone who doesn't agree with me is stupid!" and is shocked that not everyone on HN appreciates their insightful genius.

HN Guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. [...] Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative. [...] Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

idk, the demo thingy looks great.

I prefer text over the whole width compared to websites that put all their content in the left 80 columns of the screen, taking up about a quarter of my screen width

It is for sure readable, why so dramatic?

if you move your mouse to the edge of your browser window it turns into a little bidiretional arrow, if you click then drag you can make your window more narrow until it suits your desired reading preference
