That's the great big ball of stupid that all of UX presently misses, and fundamentally why I don't much respect it. ALWAYS at least allow the damn user to decide if they want to change something.
- FooBarBizBazz 5y agoTo your point, I'll add that semantic HTML with CSS was like this. It was maybe a little technical, but a motivated person could fairly easily override their browser's stylesheet. And I imagine that this was not just some esoterica to, say, people with limited vision. I don't think you can do this anymore, practically?
- jrm4 5y agoYes yes yes. Exactly. For all of its slowness and bloatedness, this is one reason why I'm slowly but strongly coming around to GUI apps made with html/css, like Electron et al. Obsidian strikes me as a great example of this; it's pretty great UI out of the box, and also you can edit it to your heart's content.
