> Has nobody heard about accessibility? Or do they not care, because “I can read it”. Genuinely, no. For those who have it, vision is such an integral part of...well, existence that intuitively grasping that people have completely different ways of perceiving it beyond the obvious is extremely difficult. This goes a bit beyond the "try to explain 'blue' to someone" troupe. I have difficulties explaining my own brand…
I get what you're saying, but decreasing vision acuity is one thing everybody in this world is guaranteed to run into (barring an early death, that is).
So I completely appreciate accessibility options. I've tweaked my iPhone settings to improve contrast wherever possible.

Published in 2018, absolutely exploded in 2020 due to a single Twitch streamer. I'm pretty sure the devs of Among Us became millionaires virtually overnight. Influencers with large followings wield awesome power.

It isn't an App Store app, he's taking payment on his own site and delivering PNGs to an email address. Not sure how I feel about the article. Kind of reads like those "I got stupid lucky this one time, so can you!" fluff pieces at best, and at worst is just further advertisement/marketing for the icon pack.
> just further advertisement/marketing for the icon pack. this reads 100% like most blog posts looking to promote their product. a bit of inspiration wrapped around 'try my product!', with a dash of bragging about their success.
