What it does

An invaluable tool for any designer or developer working towards accessibility on the web or in design. Uses the WCAG specification to show how your colours would appear and score for people with regular vision and impairments such as colour blindness.

A tool that brings attention and understanding to how color contrast can affect people with different visual impairments.

It's a tool that brings attention and understanding to how color contrast can affect different people with visual impairments. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Just a tiny part of making the web more accessible is accommodating for those with a form of blindness or low vision. The standard grading system is a great start, but I thought I'd try to humanize the people who are affected by the different grades. The percentages are sourced from both colour-blindness.com and Vision Australia . P.S. You're both the best, thankyou ✌️ Good eyes!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
