Off topic, but that site has really nice design

Mh, I couldn't read due to the huge contrast and had to switch to reader mode, so...

I personally find it to be perfectly readable. I've heard of people with issues with white text on a black background, but I don't fully understand it. Do you have astigmatism?

I do, although my astigmatism is pretty light and I wear glasses for it

What colors were you seeing? It's light white text on a black background for me-- both super common and plenty readable.

yeah same. It gives me a bit of a halo effect on letters, making it much harder to read (even w glasses). My astigmatism is pretty light and I wear glasses but it's still difficult to read for me

Really? I generally very much like to have a lot of contrast, but too much can definitely hurt my eyes.

I mean, I'm not a designer but it was interesting enough to call out.
