> author here — sorry about that. I don't use/didn't test with Firefox, but it looks like it's not setting the page background properly in dark mode. I'll get that fixed!
- eyelidlessness 6y ago[Speaking only for myself, with poor eyesight, a cognitive hearing disorder, and a variety of sensory sensitivities related to ADHD] Hey, it's awesome that you were so quick to address the issue. But I think you might want to take this one with a little grace. Putting aside the contrast you intended and missed by mistake, try to understand that accessibility is a pretty sore spot for people who need it. It's often ignored completely, or just jammed into a Lighthouse or similar score/checklist without regard for whether people can actually... access things. When people have difficulty with vision or hearing or any other sense, and when it's commonplace for that to be disregarded in very pronounced ways, it's not uncommon to feel invisible and react that way.

- eyelidlessness 6y agoThank you for policing my self advocacy but I don’t need your help. Edit: oh my god please downvote this. I definitely need more people telling me they don’t approve of me clearly stating what actually helps my sensory limitations and offering nothing constructive at all.
- feifan 6y agoThis is totally understandable! Thanks for pointing this out.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoThank you for being receptive! Let’s go make the world more accessible.
