Designer as Writer

I agree with the other comments about the article being difficult to read. But kudos to the author for taking the time and effort to put their words into practice and attempt to make an interestingly designed piece of writing.

But if we overdesign our writing, it becomes extremely hard to read as this one.

Design must be subservient to usability. It was painful for me to scroll, so much so that I gave up. It may have been acceptable on a wide desktop, but his article was so janky on my 2020 iPad that I had to stop reading.

I&#x27;m not saying this to be ironic on purpose, but the design of this website makes it very hard for me to read.<p>- Oversized font which means I can&#x27;t skim the article<p>- Sliding columns for seemingly no reason other than to confuse the reader (Also makes it impossible to skim the article)<p>- Really unintuitive navigation system (Click on a part of the paragraph) that I didn&#x27;t find until I randomly hovered my mouse over it<p>I didn&#x27;t read the article, the design and layout actively put me off, which is kind of a shame because I think the topic is interesting.
