Accessibility critic says Tangled's redesign fails basic standards

Bushell details accessibility failures in Tangled's redesigned UI

4 Nov 1 · 10d ago · 1 comment · 1 source · development 4 of 5

David Bushell published a blog post analyzing Tangled's new Svelte-based interface, identifying a 12px font size coded in pixel units that blocks browser-level text resizing and violates WCAG 2.2 guidelines. He noted that forcing 200% zoom causes text clipping and character truncation, and that the design leaves "not much room for personal remedy."

“12 pixels is too small for any meaningful text (which is typically all text). Maybe you feel the size is totally fine? That's fine for you. But it's not fine for a significant number of people.”
