Sigh. Has this ever happened to you?
When you visit a website on a mobile phone,
it should only move on one axis, like up and down
or left to right.
But not both at the same time.
[cat whining] When it does both, it's called
2 dimensional scrolling.
This behavior is frustrating for all users,
but it's also a problem for accessibility.
Guidelines covering mobile were added in WCAG 2.1.
Even when the page doesn't move in two dimensions,
the text needs to be readable. If the text is too small
to read and requires zooming in,
it may cause the same problems of the screen
having to move in both directions to see the content.
I have given a name to my pain and it is...
BATMAN! Uh, I mean 2D scrolling.
Everyone deserves access to the internet.
