  • No but I do understand where they are coming from. Can I read it? Yes. Is it hard to read? No. However for me it is oddly… uncomfortable… to read. Thats the best way I can describe it. I normally scan read the text and the way I understand it is that when people read like this they are looking for the overall shapes of words, not the individual letters, which is why it is possible to misspell the middle letters of words without causing too much issue with comprehension. However for me the way the letters are ‘weighted’ in the font is like a visual speedbump, they draw attention to themselves in a way which, for me, is unwanted and causes me to slow and change how I read each word.

    I’ve noticed it before but I can’t say I particularly care, it isn’t like I’m reading prose. If this helps others then I think it is great that it is being used.

    I know it doesn’t tick the boxes but there technicality is a Microsoft made, open source, alternative to Explorer. The original File Manager for Windows 3.1 and it is still seeing active development. Just thought to bring it to attention for a bit of nostalgic fun but I actually find myself using it a fair bit.

    A viable alternative to the Blink and WebKit dominance to allow something other than every browser being Chromium.

    Firefox’s Gecko engine is rather tied into the browser meaning nearly all Gecko based browsers are just Firefox with pre-config and extensions.

    I’m keeping an eye on Servo and Vox as what seem to be the most viable alternatives currently in development.

    You are probably already aware but there is OpenSCAD which allows you to model via programming rather than by UI. Not really an apples to apples equivalent but I find it decently interesting. I do wish there was something a little more more overtly friendly to beginners like Fusion360 though.
