Bumping up the font-size... but not too much
Back in the day body text font-size on the internet used to clock in around an average of 12-14px. Then there was a big push to bump it up to 16px. Eventually Apple essentially codified this by making an annoying feature/bug where Safari on iOS zooms if you click on an input that is less than 16px big. Since I was so often working on mobile web apps that kind of cemented my font-sizing around 16px ever since which is why this site has always had a base font size of 16px. But now I am old, and my eyesight is getting worse so it’s time for a change… So I’ll bump it up a little, but not too much.
