Why is Appsliced the last site on the Internet that hasn't implemented font anti-aliasing?

We care for what reason relevant to iOS audio??
This is the General Discussion thread.
I get why appsliced is relevant to General App Discussion, since it’s a website many iOS audio users use surely.
Since very serviceable answers to the question have already been given above (thank you,) I won’t provide yet another.
But I will pose the question to you: Of what relevance to iOS apps was your question?
Frankly all I care about is being able to set alerts and get emails, so what the site looks like isn’t a big deal.
I found this one to be quite straightforward and stable

The site and all fonts look fine to me in Safari on MacOS.
My web skills have fallen behind the times. Out of interest, @zub, can you be more specific? Is this a newer CSS property or something?
. deleted post . wrong thread .
You must have thought this was the "Is the appearance of appsliced.co a big deal to you?" thread. No worries, we all get confused.
This. You know what I hate worse than lack of anti-aliased fonts? Just about every b.s. modern web notification that requires a dismissal before I can navigate the page. It's gotten way way way out of hand. I'll take fugly old school web over that every day and twice on Sunday.
Do aliased fonts bother your eyes in any way, like you have a sight condition? If yes, perhaps reach out and write them a politely-worded email. If "no", and this is simply a matter of personal taste, does it really matter then? 🤔 Trying to figure out the exact point of this thread.
Yea that would upset me as well 😬
It doesn’t look that way for me. What browser and OS?
Same Wim, it looks fine for me, like in the screenshot you posted. I usually access it from chrome on either my android or my ipad. I've never seen it look weird, but I guess there must be some kind of issue if it ever looks like it does in @GUB's screenshot.
Looks fine for me as well (Chrome -> MacOS, iPadOS). Maybe it's a settings of your own that F things up.
Probably Windows 3.1 and Netscape Navigator 1.0.
The site in question uses a very strange CSS property for all of its text, which causes the artifacts that resemble aliasing:
They then realized that this looks bad on some browsers, but didn't understand why, and added this "-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased" property to try to work around it (obviously to no avail).
I have no idea why they're doing this, probably as an uninformed hack to slightly thicken the fonts. They've probably not been "spoon-fed knowledge" properly @GUB
You're welcome
yeah I mean, they're telling the browser to add a "0.15 px wide" outline around text. How is this supposed to be rendered "nicely"? I mean, Chrome either ignores it or somehow makes it almost transparent, or combines it with the text outline and then oversamples it all together (which would be the most advanced rendering technique). But clearly Safari can't be blamed for not rendering this "nicely".
Now please fix the problem with modals that has taken over modern web programming. I remember when banner ads were considered intrusive.
At least for the cookie alerts, you can blame the EU 😄 but seriously, most of them can be fixed with the AdGuard extension (available on pretty much every browser on every platform) and enabling one of the filter sets that includes "Annoyances".
wtf? When I enabled that all my posts on the forum disappeared.
😁 my whole LIFE disappeared!
LMFAO
That screen shot is using Safari/Ventura, both are latest builds. I've noticed it for years now, yet no other site I go to looks like that. I always thought it was odd, like they must still be using some ancient deprecated code, but not worth mentioning here. (I had some agreement on that last point, as evidenced by the "why are you asking/who cares anyway responses above.)
Weird. Not important enough to try and find the cause of though, as it's limited to one site, and doesn't affect its functionality.
