The `scripting` @media query isn't very useful. If you want CSS that's in effect when the browser doesn't have JavaScript, you can put those styles inside <noscript>. More commonly, use JavaScript itself to add or remov

Familiarity doesn't make Times New Roman's 'l' and '1' distinguishable. I think sans serif fonts are preferred for most screen reading because it takes effort to perceive the tiny serif details, or just the rea

Not really. In studies, OpenDyslexic and other "dyslexia fonts" with exaggerated shapes didn't perform better than commonly used conventional fonts.

Domino's did not make an effort until they lost in court. They even admitted during the course of the case that the requested fixes would cost like $58,000 to make, far less than the lawyers cost in the case and appeals.

"Premature optimization" is definitely a thing in scaling but not so much in accessibility. I suppose having a native feature to let users choose from a wide array of fonts and color schemes (vs. honoring OS settings for those) be

A switch is not for choosing between two options. It has two states, on and off, and it should be named in a way that makes sense with that in mind ("Dark mode" not "Dark/Light"). A checkbox can actually have 3 stat
