About 15 cm view distance for smartphones is pretty normal for me (shortsighted with glasses) on websites where the text is very small, e.g. Hacker News.

- samat 1y agoI’ve started using text scaling on HN (Cmd++ on Mac, available on mobile, too) and it’s much easier to read and pleasant to the eye this way.
- cubefox 1y agoOh, that's a great idea. I see Firefox also has this in the settings under Accessibility. I guess I never looked there because I don't think of myself as disabled. (Maybe I should.)
- bombcar 1y agoMore and more - especially on Apple products - Accessibility is the "customization" menu, not the "disabled support" it used to be. Size increases, animation decreases (when your iPhone is getting old, turn off animation and behold it operating super fast!), etc can all be found there. I zoom websites until they "feel right" which is usually something close to "they are as wide as the window I have them in" - HN is a few taps up from "actual size".
