Before HN added CSP headers, I used a bookmarklet to change the font size. But since the CSP headers were added, FF and Chrome both refuse to execute the bookmarklet.
Some might suggest to use an app instead. But I don't use apps. As a programmer I know how bad the app security models are.
Is there any solution, or am I effectively cut off from HN?
HN staff: please consider having a typographer/UI designer make a few improvements to the base stylesheet. I realize the codebase may be old, but it's a paragon of Lisp purity so it should be easy to change, no? ;)
Just wanted to comment to raise awareness for those of us without 20/20 eyesight. HN staff: please consider having a typographer/UI designer make a few improvements to the base stylesheet. I realize the codebase may be old, but it's a paragon of Lisp purity so it should be easy to change, no? ;)
Current example: The Reddit redesign. It's a nightmare.
Changes to HN that would help me are:
Get rid of the CSP headers
Change the output so that the browsers reader mode can understand it.
Try a user stylesheet with your browser.
iOS has excellent accessibility features built in. Take a look at VoiceOver or Zoom [1]. You should be able to toggle either on easily via the Control Center. [1] https://www.apple.com/au/accessibility/iphone/vision/
Ironically, setting the "dynamic text size" makes all kinds of text in the OS way too big but lets the text on HN as small as before.
And I don't want to "zoom" because that makes the text overflow the screen on the right.
Unrelated to reading HN, if LASIK or similar is an option for you I would suggest you to talk to your ophthalmologist. Having eyesight corrected has been one of the best decisions I've made. It had such a drastic impact on my quality of life.

Not sure if it'll work in the mobile version of Firefox though, works great in desktop.
Using these settings, HN is a pleasure to read! Other sites suffer, of course, because large fonts destroy their layouts, but those sites are FUBAR (from an accessibility point of view) anyway.
