Breaking designs with a simple trick: Text scaling

Let me tell you a story about the bane of all UI designers. The kryptonite of aesthetically pleasant screen components. The nightmare of even seasoned mobile developers. This is the tale of one simple woman who dared to use text scaling on her Android phone… and managed to keep her job after doing it.

By the end you will be checking text scaling on every app you come across for fun. More importantly, you will become a dev who knows how to avoid those mistakes in advance to keep both your clients and users happy.
