The new UI is not very accessible for someone with visual impairment This has been a repetitive topic, but I wanted to share my personal experience.
I have visual and cognitive impairment that keeps me from processing anything clustered, lacking contrast, simply tiny. My eyes have to dwell for a long time on a single point to process it; otherwise everything looks blurred and irrelevant.
I used Figma for the last 5 years without an issue, until the recent beta update. I had to revert it immediately, because my brain couldn’t “read” anything.
I think this could be just common method for everyone, but I use a digital interface via 1. Quick scanning of color difference, 2. Recognition of features, 3. Remembering the position of each feature. More decorations and complications means longer time to process.
