I have decent eyesight post-LASIK, but I have a lot of trouble reading small text. I almost always read books in large-print if it's available, and the Kindle has been a godsend for this particular reason. I've been tested for dyslexia and I don't have it, I just have a weird brain that has trouble with small text.
95% of the time this is a complete non-issue for me, since my monitor (for home and work) is a 50" 4k TV and I just abuse the zoom-in feature in Firefox and I'm good, but when the site actively disables zooming, it feels like an almost directed attack towards people like me: Tombert need not read this website.
- nicbou 5y agoHey, this is an issue I'd like to work on. My eyesight is good but not as good as before, and it made me reconsider my font and contrast choices on allaboutberlin.com. I find myself zooming a lot more too. Can you tell me what you think of the font sizes? Is it readable enough? Is there room for improvement?
- tombert 5y agoI'll say that that it's fairly readable immediately, but I did find myself zooming to 170% in Firefox. I'm not a designer but I don't think it looks terrible at that percentage, and I personally found it a bit more readable.
- nicbou 5y agoThanks for the feedback! I'm testing a larger font on desktop. It should also shorten the lines to about 90 characters.
