I love this site. The content, minimalism and focus on performance, the honest over-engineering, everything. But I can't read much of it as is.
• My reason is not the font, which I like, but the 'density' (not information density). The line height is too less for me.
• There are a lot of hyperlinks and they look like the factorial notation instead of an underline and are of the same color as normal text.
• Sidenotes are a good thing but they should be shown on demand, not everytime (maybe there's a setting I missed which does this).
• Regarding the pop-ins, I dig the idea but IMO, showing the whole page is not very useful. Maybe just the summary of what's to be shown. Why would I want to read a whole article in the pop-ins and what purpose do they serve which sidenotes don't?

I browse the site only occasionally and I think I had to be told that sidenotes were something that showed up if you make your browser window wide enough.
Most sites don't gain anything if you make your browser window wider than 720 points (half the width of a 2560×1440-point screen). For the sidenotes to show up, I need to widen the width of a browser window to something like 3/4 of the width of my screen, which I almost never do unless I've got multiple columns of code in an editor.
Then again, I'm on macOS, and in general, maximizing windows isn't something that's done very often. Back on Windows, I still have alt, space, x memorized for maximizing windows (although Win+up is much easier, and has been around since Windows 7).
