If you want consistency, you only need to convince everyone to switch to a single font renderer (e.g. freetype). That won't happen, though, because OS font renderers have quirks that cause them to render the same things in subtly diffe

I think a better UX for average consumer would be more a side-swiping filter menu similar to that of social media mobile apps, with different non-math style names "default blur", "circle blur", etc. Especially as more pe
