Container queries are the solution in theory but haven’t tested how they scale in uncontrolled scenarios. Also not sure how accessible the result is or how they interact with browser zoom. Will probably look into this soon since now I'm curious to know lol

The example on that screenshot is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy lol. Mediaqueries for window width only have a valid strategy: mobile-first. Everything else you end up regretting down the line and doesn’t scale. There will never be a screen smaller than 0px wide and that's a fact.

The issue with those and browser zoom is how the whole UI does or does not scale in an intended and controlled way. I don’t think anyone finds helpful to have bigger text with only one word per line and definitely no one designs or accounts for those scenarios. I guess at least not outside gov sites

It’s been about a decade since I’ve been down the rabbit hole of typesetting and css units for a11y. What I’d say is `em` and `rem` only help you if you want to change font-size on the root element and have everything scale accordingly. This worked great in the jQuery era before, Custom Properties.

If you, like me, are worried about surveillance, get involved in hacker, local-first, and decentralization communities.

i love the idea and how accents are a main character (pun intended) but i hate the fact they waste two layers instead of using dead keys.
does anyone have a good solution to this? i don't care about the base layer as much as the solution to accented characters for polyglots 😇

Fuck guilt by association. The projects Vercel sponsors did nothing to provoke this response.
Go off at Rauch personally by all means, but don’t engage in collective punishment.
