Yes, let's search for the One True Font, One True Theme, and Unicorns while we're at it. Oh, let's also pretend that we'll give users a choice. Well, technically, we will but we wi…

Is that high contrast mode, their dark mode colors, and their font choice supposed to work for everyone?

This is the most misleading part of the entire text on that website, almost as if it was written by a skilled poltician who knows how to lie on your face. They say that they're not…

Of the top of my head, people who are working on Android UX and the GNOME desktop environment.
