readable.css: Semantic-First CSS That Respects User Preferences

readable.css is a minimalist CSS framework that adds sensible default styles to semantic HTML while prioritizing accessibility and readability over aesthetic complexity. By respecting user browser preferences for font size, color modes, and contrast settings, it challenges the trend of websites overriding user choices—a critical shift toward genuine web accessibility. This philosophy reflects growing recognition that web standards and user control matter more than design flourish in creating truly usable digital experiences.
