never in all my years have i seen actual non-anecdotal or marketing-driven evidence that developer experience has any genuine impact on user experience

happy to be corrected though

@andy I think there's something to be said for simple accessible tools enabling more people to create, reducing barriers. Greater diversity of devs is good in itself and good for users

@andy yeh its like 'given we have to over-engineer this, here is a tool to do that. oh and the defaults arent accessible and there'll be a new one next month'

Oh no, what happened to contrast-ratio.com?

Any good contrast calculator pages around that don’t load a load of images and also concentrate on WCAG 2 contrast?

@yatil yeh I can imagine a version where you start with just text contrast and can switch to others/turn them on and off if you want

I still don’t understand why Google Drive shows a row of identical faces below the search input. Does anyone have a answer to this mystery?

yesterday I mentioned Moonrise Kingdom on a Signal call with my brother, today Youtube is recommending a Moonrise Kingdom video. I don't think it's Signal, I think its probably Android. Super creepy

@shiftleftist I think to count there has to be an aspect of automation 'these are your instructions now'. You had to control Cannon Fodder all the time I think?

Is there an extension (preferably Chrome or VSCode) that can auto reload any (not HTML) document automatically when it changes on disk?

@nickm not an extension but BrowserSync should be able to do it
