Well that's an easy thing to say.
Perhaps you wouldn't mind laying out some specifics?

I would be happy to, but I feel it would fall on deaf ears and I'd just be wasting my time. I've already sent so many suggestions to chess.com without any acknowledgement. Besides, I don't work for chess.com. But here's one: In chess.com mobile, when you click on a piece, the piece zooms out 3x, causing it to block and distort all the squares underneath. This is a frustration that has been around since 2018 and has never been fixed, even though the community has begged for a setting to turn that "feature" off. Like I said - suggestions at chess.com falls on deaf ears and that's why I won't be renewing my membership in July.

By "the community", you mean you?
I got nothing relevant when I searched for "piece zoom."

You can change that behavior.
More > Settings > Board > Magnify Pieces on Android for sure. That setting has been around for a long time.
chess.com has some of the worst UX designs and behavior I have ever seen and experienced. What's the deal?
