Make GitHub easier to read
FontFlex is a Safari extension that changes the font, size, spacing and colors of github.com, and every other site, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Why GitHub can be tiring to read
READMEs and issue threads are long technical reads. A clearer body font helps, as long as code stays in a monospace font.
A good FontFlex setup for GitHub
- A clear sans serif for prose, such as Inter Pro
- HTML tag exclusions, so code blocks keep their monospace font Pro
- Text size one or two steps larger Free
Only for GitHub, if you like
Save these settings as a FontFlex profile and assign it to github.com. GitHub gets its own look while every other site keeps your default. Profiles are free.
New to FontFlex? The setup guide shows how to turn the extension on in Safari. It takes about a minute.
FontFlex is not affiliated with GitHub. It changes how pages look on your device only.
The quiet cost of hard-to-read pages
Small, thin type and tight lines make readers work harder. Many give up halfway down the page, and the words were never the problem.
