The formatting on this is just gorgeous -- worth the read just for that.

It's very nice in layout, but the small, light-weight, low-contrast text is not so great.

Also on mobile some headlines are squashed together.

do you know some way to keep it synchronized between devices? idk if it's possible

I use org-mode pretty heavily and sync between several computers (+ Orgzly on my phone) with Dropbox. It's not ideal—handling the occasional editing conflict is a pain—but perfectly reasonable. I've heard good things from people using Syncthing or even just git as well. At the end of the day, org-mode files are plain text files, so you can use normal file syncing tools with them pretty easily.

didn't know about orgzly!! that's what I was looking for, ty!!

Glad to hear that—I've been pretty happy with it. That says, the syncing with Dropbox is a bit janky; I often ran into conflicts before I got in the habit of pressing the sync button both before and after using the app.

Also consider log-seq. It's not as feature rich in the org-direction as orgzly IIRC, but it is capable of parsing org-roam set-ups with some very minor configuration.

My org under git. And I use git-sync - it makes commit and push rebase after each saving. Can be used as time machine also

It truly is something!

If you're familiar with your browser's webdev tools, all you need to do is disable a single CSS rule (`body { font-weight: 300; }`) to make it easier to read.

Sure, I *can* do that, but I shouldn't have to. I read a great article recently on the whole unreadable text problem: https://tangledweb.xyz/please-stop-using-grey-text-3d3e71acfca8

Oh, I totally agree. Just sharing what I did in order to read the article, since in this case I think it's better than reader mode.

Absolutely amazing, but could not agree more: contrast, stark black on white (rgb(0,0,0), let's get nuts), with a tad bigger line height (1.6em, dare I say 1.8em), would make it even more awesome. Tufte would approve.
