OT: Reminder to develop a quick JS bookmarket to fix unnecessary monospace apps like mailman - Readability doesn't work. Assuming an 80 character wide display was dumb 10 years ago, it's even worse now we have mobile web.


[Still OT] There's a good reason for mailman being monospace: quite a few mailing lists see ASCII diagrams now and then.


(Looks at downmods) I'm surprised that HN seems to be against any accessibility technology.

ASCIIs art's useful, but it's not quite so popular as it once was, and doesn't justify forcing presentation. Reading Guido's post on a phone was completely painful.
