RETHINKING TEXT RESIZING ON WEB

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Airbnb improved its website's accessibility by implementing font scaling, allowing users to adjust text size independently from page zoom. Unlike browser zoom, which can create layout issues on smaller screens, font scaling only affects text elements, providing a better user experience for those with low vision. Airbnb used rem units for font sizing, as they are relative to the root element and provide more consistent scaling than em units.
