I've always found Hubski's design harder to read on desktop than necessary. Why has everything got to be so small and wide?

Then yesterday I remembered that I'd been learning front-end dev and I could now change it with my own user style. If you want check it out, you can find it here. It imports a new font, increases the font size, and changes the width and spacing of some elements.

Here's some screenshots:

If you like it, you'll need the Stylish extension to use it. I commented all the rules I applied as well. So if you like the basis of it but want to change some things, then feel free.

Apart from that, things have been going well.

I've been taking piano lessons which have been increasingly beneficial to my compositions. I feel like I really have some sort of style starting to fall into place now, which is cool. I've got about an entire album's worth of tracks, so I look forward to hopefully being able to share them with you awesome folks sometime soon.

My day job has been split between software testing and web development lately. The former is okay with some good background music, but it melts your brain after awhile. The latter is coming along great. I love the problem solving that it requires and can easily spent 2 hours working out a solution to even relatively minor issues.

Also, with regards to the web dev, it's good to have an outlet that balances out my composition stuff. Because my music has always been somewhat self-indulgent, whereas the dev focuses more on creating functional experiences that are for everyone.

I do like small font. I always assume that people can toggle in their browser, but I guess that's not site specific. Maybe a font toggle is worth doing.

Ooh this style looks neat. I tweaked that ".box:nth-child(even)" rule to "background: rgba(10,10,10, 0.2);" and that seems to work fine for the night mode.

Also curious what music genres do you compose in?

Thanks, glad to hear you found a good colour to replace it with.

My solo musical output is an attempt to fuse jazz, drum & bass, prog rock, and math rock, among a few other genres.

Do you make music/play any instruments?

Thanks, flac :).

How's the learning of the jazz standards coming along? We just started looking at Miles Davis' Tune Up as my first one.

Neat, I've been dabbling in music production for a while now, mostly working in Ableton. Well I haven't really done much recently, being a uni student busy with assignments :p
