  • If wishing made it so.

    On Android every single browser links the system font size to the web font size. This does not guarantee that the font is readable on web, just that when you make the system font bigger, the web font size (mostly) increases.

    The system font size is used everywhere, on every UI element in every app, not only the web, on the home screen, the keyboard, etc. etc.

    I don’t want a bigger system font, because it reduces what’s visible on the screen and fundamentally it doesn’t actually fix the web.

    The Google Message app is currently the only one that allows you to pinch zoom and increase/decrease the font size.

    Finally, on desktop you can use Ctrl +/- to change the font size. That’s what I want mobile pinch zoom to use.

    As for zooming in on an image, on desktop, the Ctrl +/- also (depending on the stylesheet) will change the image size. If you need more, you can open the image in a new tab and use Ctrl +/- to zoom. All of this could work exactly the same as on a mobile phone with pinch zoom.

    As I said, if wishing made it so.



  • Multiple camera angles are used for two reasons:

    1. Added visual interest. People tend to want variety and colour and movement offered by different views can provide that. This is the obvious reason it’s being used.
    2. Ability to edit without it being obvious. Often a presenter will require multiple takes to “get it right”. If you edit in the take, the picture “jumps” because humans move around. If you have multiple cameras you can edit and switch cameras without it looking like an edit. If you then also look at a different camera when you make a mistake, you can keep recording and fix it when you edit it together.
