Header UI Improvements #10

Open ragar3 opened 4 months ago

ragar3 commented 4 months ago

Currently the header buttons are not well-labeled and have unclear functions.

Proposed changes:

Add help button to explain functionalities of the website and other header buttons
Change icons of "tracking callouts" and "places near me" buttons to better reflect their purposes
Make it more clear that the tracking callouts feature is a toggle
Improve the speaking rate input (maybe a slow/normal/fast option instead of number input?)

Thanks for the feedback. I agree the buttons could use some improvement, and am open to the changes you propose.

The main special requirements here are that the controls should be large and high-contrast enough to be usable on a phone-sized screen with low vision, and are well-annotated enough to be understandable and interactive when using a screen reader.

One alternative idea for the speed controls is a tortoise/hare rocker switch like the macOS speech controller.
