So @ma12-co mentioned as one of the design polishing things that the font size is too small at the moment – I totally agree.

Currently we use 12.8px which is way too little as base font size.

Here’s some comparisons:

  • Bootstrap: 16px body, 14px nav
  • Material design: 16px body, 14px nav
  • Meetup: 16px event description, 14px comments and details
  • Twitter: 15px
  • Mastodon: 15px
  • YouTube: 14px (description and comments)
  • Reddit: 14px
  • Google: 14px (search result details)
  • GitHub: 14px (but it’s for nerds)
  • Wikipedia: 14px (but the design style is quite old)
  • Google Drive: 13px (both file list and navigation)

The issue is how we do it, cause of course the rest is sized via pixels. Maybe now is also the time to size via rem units? @nextcloud/designers what do you think?
