Cool new website.
But this really isn’t what a human-friendly website should look like, unfortunately.
The new pijul.org website is built around huge swaths of pure black, with bright green monospace text on top. Very cool, very retro—like some h4ck3r terminal straight out of the last century. It takes you back to the golden age of old-fashioned hacker culture, when people chatted in leetspeak on BBS cursing Netscape and Microsoft… okay, stop! This website is not human-friendly! I use an OLED screen (which makes the already insanely high text contrast even higher!), and MY EYES ARE GOING BLIND!
I once introduced Pijul to a friend. I opened pijul.org right in front of him, and the first thing he said was, “Damn I can’t even read these.”
Yeah of course I know a few lines of CSS and make the website looks however I want. But shouldn’t visual comfort be the default?
I love Pijul, but the current frontend design is basically driving away anyone with sensitive eyes. 
If you care about your readers, you should make the reading experience pleasant for them. If I open a website that makes it hard or is uncomfortable for me to read/scan/whatever, my patience for reading whatever is on that site drops and I close the page.
Setting light-gray text on a slightly-less-gray background is a great way to make people squint at your site in frustration.
…it is the greater horizontal compression and consequently reduced eye-movement requirements of variable pitch that are responsible for its superiority at medium and large character sizes.
For young observers, however, the highest visual comfort value can be obtained when there is a moderate, rather than extremely high, lightness difference.
