Since we're complaining about Medium: the font is too big. We may be in the post Web 2.0 era where huge text is more of a norm, but I feel assaulted every time I load a Medium article. The text is not readable without physically changing one's position, or adjusting the browser font size.
And why should I have to fiddle with the font size for one site when I don't have to think about it elsewhere? Are Medium bloggers so arrogant as to think that their revelations deserve to be shouted in my face at 22px?
On the contrary, the font size on many sites is too small[1] (in the case of HN or Daring Fireball, far too small). I need to increase the size, or zoom in when using Safari on my laptop/iPhone/iPad, to have any hope of reading them without straining. Medium is one site where I don't have to do anything to read comfortably on a desktop or laptop.
I have a 23" 1920x1080 monitor and a 13" 1440x900 Macbook Air.
