I'm severely colourblind - my eyes can hardly detect red light at all.
So, working in web development, picking colour schemes is hard.
There are tools around to help you pick accessible colour schemes, but they assume that you can tell by looking that a colour is the one you want, and the only information you need the computer to calculate is the contrast ratio.
I realised I need a tool that will take the name of a colour and find a shade that gives a target contrast ratio.
Here it is: https://colourblind-palette-maker.glitch.me/
It uses the new APCA perceptual contrast algorithm and the Oklab colour space to help me find colours that people with better colour vision will interpret correctly, while ensuring there's good contrast for as many people as possible.
@EvanHahn That's awesome! As dat_ecosystem mentioned, we in the community usually use a different URL scheme. Have you seen my web browser that loads p2p URLs (including JS) natively? @agregore
I also have a cli environment which supports p2p web apis that might be relevant: https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-cli
@EvanHahn @dat_ecosystem yeah check out hyper-sdk. The p2p stufd can be a pain to set up for browsers tho
@bingspingsdings@c.im this is a neat rabbit hole, ty.
@bingspingsdings@c.im does it do spatial computing? Or what does it typically provide for display managers?

My brain, unprompted:
"Okay, but what if we actually model RDF graphs in datalog? Can we do that? What does it look like? If we do that, what kind of properties fall out?"
How funky of me would it be to run every app in a separate virtual machine along with a network tunnel with randomized ip? Too much? Feels like it'd be fun to build tho

All engineering is reverse engineering if you document things poorly enough.
@vyr I daily drive steam os for my programming job :P I have done unspeakable evils to make it possible to compile stuff without having access to system level package management 🥰
@rooster@chaosfem.tw What sort of stuff do you like to do on your computer and how much do you enjoy mucking about with the guts of your OS?

@dripline Wow so cool!
Ahh I love having coworkers that I can rely on and share work with. This year I'm aiming to grow a team within Hypha to do contract work on local-first stuff so I can be less of a bottleneck and enable even more groups to make cool tech.
@talon Hmm yeah you might need to do something more drastic like exrract it from the chromium source tree
@talon I think Open AL is the gold standard and informed some of the web audio api IIRC
@futurebird then again I was wearing masks before the pandemic so I may just be a weirdo in general :P
