Tangled, hire a front-end accessibility expert
A response to https://lobste.rs/s/ukj8mm/federated_code_forge Comments
The author of this account criticizes Tangled, a GitHub alternative, for its new user interface design. They argue that the text is too small at 12 pixels and 16 pixels line height, making it difficult for users to read. The author also points out that Tangled uses pixel units for font size, which prevents the UI from adapting to browser default settings and users resizing text.
This violates WCAG 2.2 guidelines, which recommend a minimum font size of 16 pixels for resizable text. The author suggests that Tangled should hire an accessibility expert to address these issues, as it is crucial for projects to prioritize accessibility from the beginning rather than treating it as an afterthought. They emphasize that accessibility concerns impact everyone and that serious projects should seek professional expertise to avoid basic failures.
