👩🏼‍💻 dyslexia type adjustments 👓

this gist is to make things readable for myself! happy to share with others and exchange notes.

i don't know much about dyslexia, but few weeks ago i was in an accessibilty tech demo, and found that options for dyslexia helped me so much! so i'm trying things out!

some things i know:

• comic sans makes it a lot easier for me to read and understand technical documentation
• low contrast is good for me! it seems like that may be a common thing with dyslexia too, because i have seen some dyslexia plugins that text/bg contrast
