Dynamic text sizes? #231

Changing the text size is an accessibility option that might be nice to include for folks who have bad (or great!) eyesight.

This is a good idea - I filed one for myself over in sunlightlabs/congress-android#591. But I suspect it's a non-trivial change, that there are lots of layout decisions that have been guided by an expected text size.

This is something that is supported by new APIs in iOS 7. We'd be much better off supporting those APIs rather than rolling our own method of doing this.

It will probably be feasible to start including iOS features in early 2014 (80% iOS 7 adoption?) so it'd be best to push this off until then.

I agree that we want to start doing this stuff once iOS 7 reaches a high install base. It will be interesting to see how quickly that adoption is when it reaches final form and comes out.
