Designing for people with low vision - TetraLogical
img.headings { width:50%; min-width:400px; max-width:100%; } @media (max-width: 400px) { img.headings { min-width: 100%; } } Low vision affects millions of people worldwide, yet it's often overlooked in the design process. The design choices we make, from how we emphasise content to where we position controls, can either empower people to customise their experience or create unnecessary barriers. By understanding these impacts and designing with flexibility in mind, we can create interfaces that truly work for everyone.
Christopher Kirk-NielsenI would love for a media's `autoplay` attribute to respect `prefers-reduced-motion` to make some background videos less hostile to users (care to guess what I'm working on right now?).
I see @jaffathecake is already on the case in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11605 and there's a few thoughts about compatibility — tough decision to make for sure.
I'd certainly be favour of something like `autoplay="auto|forced" where auto means no autoplay if the user has reduced motion preferences.
