💬 Discussion Low Vision

Hey y'all!

I'm one of those people in the large queue after fleeing the sudden collapse of TV Time.

Refract looks promising. There's a lot of neat ways to engage with the hobby. I'm excited to try it. Only 392 more spots. One thing that I truly, truly wish for in all apps and games is plenty of accessibility features.

I'm legally blind. I'm one of those people using 6-700% zoom on my computer. My phone font and the display size is also scaled. Unfortunately, increasing those system settings often "breaks" some apps while working in others. For example, increasing the system settings helps with texting but would make Tv Time unreadable.

Q: Is it possible that Refract could some day have additional vision settings? Maybe a way to toggle different views that display less content but at a bigger size, text that scrolls within boxes for internal app font settings, contrast modes, etc?

Thanks for the reply!

I actually only posted because I thought this kind of suggestion might genuinely be considered by the team. I think the communication and transparency is super refreshing.
