Dear Community Beta team,

I love the changes you are making. When the beta was first launched the font size and narrow 1/3rd of the screen made me quite frustrated in that light the thing on fire and burn it to the ground kind of way, which I can see has been addressed with nice roomy content sections and a a clear, narrow font.

My current issue, while far from those initial feelings of alienation from being unable to read without editing browser settings which broke other sections of the website, is that the font being as narrow as it is is not giving me quite enough contrast. If there was a way for me to enable a bold or heavier font without impeaching on the design of the community beta for other users, it would go a great distance in making the text more legible for eyes as poor as mine.

Best,

Kaine

Edit: Just for clarification, I love the font. It's clean, modern, classy and legible. What bothers me is how painful it is to get close enough to see it.

I definitely want to explore a certain level of view customization on a per-account basis, but for now we are focused on stabilizing and then refining the basic feature set of the system before we dive too deep into custom options.

Haha, I see your point with that picture.

To be clear I don't have that level of narrowness.

It can be fixed to an extent by scrolling in the zoom but I agree that your font is way to small.

Is that standard or one zoom out? Its still really small in standard for me but not that small.
