Add font-size controls to HN for vision impaired please?

Very late to the UI feature request party, but just in case...

1. Thank you for an amazing resource and for considering dark mode in yesterday's thread [0]

2. A request: I frequently use an iPad pro to read HN (Chrome, Safari), and because there are no meaningful font-size controls, there is no way to magnify the next without using really awkward usability hacks (zoom). And since zooming (either using gestures in-browser or the usability tools from Apple) doesn't trigger any kind of word wrap, it's a terrible pan from side to side experience to read HN content as lonnnnnnng wrapping lines. Third party tools also top-out in terms of font size.

Proposal: A simple floated div with links in the upper right with few font sizes displayed (a small letter A, a medium A, and a large A, or a "Font: +/-" approach) that appended a query string with a font size variable to the current URL (or set a cookie, cough) allowing HN to change the base font size in CSS (say, the body declaration to font-size: 1em, font-size: 1.25em or font-size: 1.5em respectively) and then declaring the other font sizes in relative terms[0] would be so helpful.

The style sheet changes would be minimal: what was previously font-size: 8.5pt becomes font-size: 85% and so on.

Example changes to news.css:

body { font-size:1em (or 1.25em or 1.5em ... etc. as dictated by the query var); color:#828282; }

.default { font-size: 100%; } .admin { font-size: 85%; } .title { font-size: 100%; } .subtext { font-size: 70%; } .yclinks { font-size: 80%; } .pagetop { font-size: 100%; } .comhead { font-size: 80%; } .comment { font-size: 90%; }

Thanks for considering this, Mark
