Ever notice your web app's text is either too small or too large for users, no matter how they set their browser's default font size? In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the overlooked CSS 'system-ui' and rem-based sizing, revealing how most developers accidentally hardcode pixel values that ignore user preferences. They explore real-world examples from sites like Wikipedia and GitHub that get it right, and show how a simple shift from px to rem can dramatically improve accessibility. They also discuss the difference between browser zoom and text-only zoom, and why '1rem' doesn't always equal '16px' when users adjust settings. By the end, you'll know exactly how to make your web app respect the user's font size choice, boosting readability and inclusivity.
