And is nearly illegible for people with poor vision, not to mention the smaller sizes used for other parts of the UI. (To say nothing of the poor contrast of several items.) Target WCAG 2 AA.
I love HN but the CSS is outdated. Working on a fix ;)
- alberth 3y agoThat's why browsers support zoom levels. So you can scale the size of the entire page to be bigger (to suit your needs). https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96810 https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96810 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207209 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207209 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-incr...
- cantSpellSober 3y agoI know. I have more than one browser, and more than one device. Users need to set zoom on all of these. Good forbid I visit a site on a device that is not my own, requiring setting the zoom level again. Legible design reduces to need to offload this work to the user. Things like Userstyles and Arc Boosts are reducing the problem too.
- mrob 3y agoIn Firefox, zoom level can be adjusted by holding down control and scrolling the mouse wheel. This is a very easy task, and Firefox remembers the custom zoom level for your next visit. I assume other browsers allow something similar.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoI know that zooming exists. My phones don't have a scroll wheel, and I use quite a few different browsers. Zooming on phones typically breaks the layout (making the viewport larger than the screen). If I don't own the device I'm using, this solution doesn't work at all as well as simply saying a legible text size in the design.
