A user, gjsman, requested a toggle switch in their community’s profile settings to enable the Dyslexie Font for dyslexic users, offering a budget of around $100. Alexander expressed interest and completed the task, which gjsman confirmed as finished and paid for. glimfeather shared a personal perspective, noting that the Dyslexie Font worsened their dyslexia, though gjsman acknowledged the lack of scientific consensus and the anecdotal benefits reported by others. The job was successfully delivered, and khenmu praised the effort, hoping it benefits the community.
My community has some dyslexic users, and it occurred to me that a font such as https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/typeface/ might make my community more comfortable for them. Thus, all I need is a toggle switch, somewhere in their profile, to enable that font instead of the website default.
When do you need it done?
As soon as reasonably possible.
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
I’m willing to pay about $100, but if it costs more I can stretch.
Not a member of your community but I am dyslexic and I find that font sets my dyslexia off indeed all such supposedly dyslexia-friendly fonts cause me problems!
I don’t dispute that - there’s not a lot of scientific understanding of dyslexia out there. I am aware there are studies saying that changing the font doesn’t do anything - but at the same time, there are browser extensions for it and people anecdotally swearing that it helps them. So… I’d just like to provide the option.
