Decides to try a trendy new open source text editor
It launches in dark mode with tiny font sizes because the devs are obviously all teenagers with perfect vision and no astigmatism
Change the font size. Seems to work
Change to light mode. Seems to work
Touch another setting. App immediately switches back to dark mode and default font size and stays there
Coolcoolcool. I don't actually need to be able to read the fucking text to work on it, right?
Dark mode isn't the default in OSes for a reason folks. It's one of those accessibility aids that's grossly inaccessible to a ton of people.
Respect the OS settings if you're making an app!!!!!!!
If a user has chosen light mode and reduced motion, don't fucking launch with dark mode and swishy animations!
Don't be an asshole!
Too many devs are being absolute assholes!
@jyarbrough @baldur I think it's a lack of training all round too, or a lack of prioritising from the top down as well.
I lost my main career in 2016 partly cos they procured new work software and didn't consider accessibility despite being rude to me in several meetings. The devs who they made me to access consultancy with had Zero Clue and I then got blamed for "not explaining it" despite not being a software engineer or access consultant. Priority has to come by law & from the top.
