Settings and accessibility¶
Looking for what the accessibility toggles actually do?
Accessibility covers the three toggles, what holds regardless of your settings, and where the app is still weak.
/settings collects all the toggles. Five panels: skill profile, review voice, profile, accessibility, weekly reflection.
Skill profile¶
- Shows latest assessment date.
Retake the assessment→ starts a new run at/assess/<run_id>.or reset all progress →link goes to/settings/reset(see below).
Review voice¶
A pointer to /voices where you browse the named-thinker roster and set your default. See Hints and voices.
Profile¶
Local single-user mode. Three fields, all persisted to users.settings_json:
- Display name (used in the home page greeting)
- Email (for future hosted mode; not sent anywhere now)
- Time zone (IANA list — empty = system default; affects "today" boundary in scheduler)
Live email validation mirrors the server-side regex; surfaces the error on blur once you've left an invalid value.
Accessibility¶
Three toggles, all persisted to users.settings_json.a11y. Applied via data-* attributes on <html> in base.html, with CSS in static/css/main.css.
| Toggle | What it does | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce motion | Zeroes animations + transitions. Also respects the OS prefers-reduced-motion media query automatically. |
[data-reduce-motion="1"] selector + @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) global rule |
| Larger text | Bumps base font 16px → 19px (matches WCAG large-text threshold). | html[data-larger-text="1"] { font-size: 19px; } |
| Higher contrast | Pure black/white body text, thicker focus rings, underlined links. | html[data-high-contrast="1"] overrides several --text-color and --border-* variables |
All three persist across reload (server-side) and apply on the next render.
Weekly reflection¶
A pointer to /reflect. See Reflect.
Reset progress¶
/settings/reset is the destructive escape hatch. Useful for:
- Testing the onboarding flow
- Starting over after a stretch of test attempts
- Wiping practice data while keeping authored work
What it deletes¶
| Table | Why |
|---|---|
attempts |
Practice submissions |
content_progress |
Read/watched/rated content rows |
review_state |
Per-problem recall scoring |
sessions |
Session aggregates |
assessment_runs + assessment_responses |
The assessment itself |
attempt_reviews |
Cascades from attempts |
reflections |
Hamming-mode replies |
Also clears users.settings_json.onboarding_skipped so the next visit to / redirects to /onboarding.
What it keeps¶
- JDs you've pasted
- Writings + drafts
- Feedback inbox
- Credential uploads (CV parses)
- Your account itself (no re-sign-in)
Confirmation gate¶
The big red button is disabled by default. To enable: retype the visible row-count number into the confirmation input. Prevents single-click fat-finger deletes.
