Thin light-grey low-contrast body text is hard to read
From 3 comments
Ditch the thin light-grey font on white background. I have 20/20 vision and I have to attain my eyes to read the text.
dmitriid on HNI can barely read that low-contrast thin font, and I have average vision.

dmitriid on HNTry #767676 (contrast ratio against #fff = AA 4.54:1), neutral gray and closest to the official minimum recommendation (4.5:1) for body text.

Provide a minified version and state minified and gzipped sizes

alberth on HNSuggestion: tell me up front the minimized size and minimized + gzipped size. Otherwise looks pretty good, so the size decides whether it’s lightweight enough for certain projects.
oefrha on HNIf the idea is to edit the single file, rather than include it and an override - would it make sense to distribute a minified version? Also, what's the difference after…
