Missing one line to look good in mobile.

Added. Makes the text better but now the screenshot is too large. Bloody HTML.

What does that do, and why is it not the default?

That landing page seems unmaintained, I think this is the main home page: https://lynx.invisible-island.net/

> That landing page seems unmaintained.

I maintained it for a while, then delegated the DNS to someone else, but they didn't maintain it either, swapped it back. ~I'll update it when I get a chance.~

edit: Updated with the correct version and some small HTML tweaks

This says:

> Access Denied - Sucuri Website Firewall

...

> Block reason: Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.

For that reason I don't think it's a good page to recommend.

The font in the screenshot is Cosmic Sans [sic],

https://github.com/gregkh/cosmic-sans-neue

which was later renamed Fantasque due to hate mail.

Probably Fantasque because I've (to the best of my memory) never installed Cosmic Sans (and I made the screenshot, obvs.) but I do occasionally use Fantasque for terminals.

But since the screenshot needs updating, I'm open to suggestions for what font to use this time.

Do you mean the naming similarity to Comic Sans?

Unreadable on a phone without zooming and panning. A little CSS wouldn’t be a bad thing here.

Perfectly readable in Firefox Mobile. Chrome too. What mobile browser are you using?

eviks|11 months ago

You mean unreadable on mobile due to tiny text?

Should we blame an old timey basic webpage for its lack of complexity or should we blame a modern browser for not accommodating the web in its most simple form?

It's perfectly readable on Brave for Android. The text even wraps to the screen size so you don't have to scroll.

Which phone browser renders it in an unreadable manner?

I’m sorry to hear that lunch to zoom is hard on your fingers

Looked fine for me on mobile.
