The tool currently generates CSS where the font sizes are assigned in descending order to h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 tags. However, this approach may lead users to mistakenly assign the h1 tag to the largest heading, rather than the most significant one. According to W3C accessibility criteria, HTML offers six levels of headings, with h1 being the most important and h6 the least important. It's crucial to adhere to these guidelines for optimal accessibility.

There are around 22M views for David Blaine's [Ascension](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwzvNAAqH3g) - Travelling upto 25k feet in a hydrogen balloon. So who is to say that we are not in a Balloonomania now?

I have to pile onto the criticism of the hidden scroll bars, and other similar features (like the hidden buttons of PDF viewers now, such as in Chrome). Discoverability is a problem.

For anyone (cough, elderly parents) who aren't adept at discovering hidden features, these things can be utterly mind-boggling and frustrating. Even I was stumped for a good minute the first time trying to print/save/download a PDF when that "feature" came out.

I don't really need the small sliver of menu space in PDF view to be reclaimed -- and for what, a "clean" look? Those are real and important functions I desire. What I actually need is for news and blog sites to stop covering 1/4 of their vertical window space with hovering frames, ads, and banners asking me to subscribe. Which, by the way, subsequently don't properly calculate into that now hidden scroll bar's movement and cause you to overshoot the displayable area when paging down. End rant.

> For anyone (cough, elderly parents) For a long time, I have belived that these were problems that the elderly somehow could not figure out. I blamed it on them for a long time.

Then I opened Adobe After Effects for the first time and it suddenly made sense to me, the UI I found intuitive was just years of practice. How is an x in a corner a close button? What's so intuitive about swiping up to see a menu?

> This might be a shock to most people in the western world, but if you go on almost ANY news website in china, the headline news is dedicated to government propaganda.

Those people would be even more shocked by the extent to which this is true in the western world as well.

In China, all headlines are designed to propogate the SAME propoganda. In other parts of the world, all headlines are designed DIFFERENT propagandas.

This is a pattern that is seen under every answer on Stackoverflow. I do wonder what the implications on upvote button would be and how a "Thanks" differentiates from upvoting an answer. I wonder if Stackoverflow and creators could benefit from a program like Github Sponsors. May the Web Monetisation API can help
