Things I'm working on now

Okay, so I know that I complained about how much accessibility added to my HTML in my last post, but it's my current ADHD fueled hyper-fixation. A few things that I'm working on:

  • Character spacing
    • Increasing the space between characters makes everything easier to read for folks with dyslexia. I don't think I'm going to space things out quite as far as is suggested by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines because that much spacing makes it more difficult for me to read it. I'm trying to find a place somewhere in the middle.
  • Line height
    • Adding a little more space between each line also makes content easier to read for our dyslexic friends. After this update is made, I should be up to spec.
  • Contrast
    • I didn't actually have to do anything to the color scheme. Everything was already okay there!
  • Headings
    • I had a heading style for stylistic purposes not realizing that was bad form.

And just like that, the hyper-fixation has passed. The changes listed above aren't live as of the time of this posting, but should be shortly.
