Most websites are designed on the basis that “one size fits all” -
for any kind of user or context of use. Your task is to create a
tool that allows users to author their own policies for customised
appearance and behaviour, for example dark-mode viewing, text
subsets, or controls suited to elderly users or those with
disabilities. It should also be possible to apply data from one
user-selected site (e.g. a weather forecast) to customise the
appearance of another. The configuration process should be
easily accessible to a wide range of users - so rather than
vendor-specific browser plug-ins, a more universal solution
might be a configurable online translation service that
substitutes alternative CSS and JavaScript through recipes that
can be shared with others. Such a powerful tool would also
require security provision to guard against misuse.
