RE: https://mas.to/@frontenddogma/116367986365199596 Every single person on this planet has missed a tiny 16px delete button and tapped edit instead. 🎯 This is not a personal failing. This is an accessibility failure. ♿ tldr; 24px is not good. It's the absolute lowest bar you're allowed to scrape over. If you actually want people to use your product, 32px is a much better real-world target. ✨ #A11y #design #frontend #axd #uxdesign #productdesign

We've all missed a tiny 16px delete button and hit edit instead. 😅 That's not user error—that's a design failure. ♿ The reality: 24px is the bare minimum. If you want your product to actually work for people, aim for 32px. 🎯 #design #frontend #axd #uxdesign #productdesign #accessibility #webdev RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:uraspbjwbjn5izasotuncgg7/post/3mitfqnyveh2q
