Thankful Eyes – make text on the web readable
February 3, 2010 at 14:07
Thankful Eyes is a bookmarklet which automatically calculates and applies a large enough font size to body text for optimum readability. It’s a little project I worked on recently, and I think it is ready for general beta testing and real-world usage. It works in Opera and Firefox (untested in IE). Known not to work under Safari or Chrome [yet].
- Homepage (grab the bookmarklet from there)
- Source code on github
It is said that, for optimum readability, text line length should be around 12 words per line. This allows the eye to easily track from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.
Using Thankful Eyes is better than simply maintaining a minimum font size with your browser settings because doing that increases the size of many elements which usually do not require magnification, such as sidebar text, menu items, small labels, and so on. Thankful Eyes aims to adjust only body text. It’s also better than using browser zoom, because browser zoom also magnifies and distorts images.

August 1, 2009 at 14:12
Version 0.8.12 of Diakonos is now available.
Keying and the input line
The keying system of Diakonos has been refactored. What this means to the end user is the input line now supports the full range of keys. For example, keys like the Home and End keys actually produce multiple characters of input each, and so would not function properly in older versions. They are now are properly supported. As part of this new implementation, the notion of keying modes has been introduced. For now, there are only two hard-coded modes: “edit” and “input”. There is now an mkey configuration directive, used to bind a function to a key chord or sequence under a specific mode. The old directive, key is equivalent to mkey edit, and so acts as a shorthand.
