I love posts like this from @zachleat.com (2 weeks ago - because, yes, I'm slow): www.zachleat.com/web/ai-websi...

I love them because I don't actually need to read anything and from the (rather fancy) live speedruns, you can see the whole point visually.

And wow, how is big tech so shit at this?

After a decade at Cloudinary, I am looking work. I'm a web developer who's done a lot of devrel, too. I'm good at the front of the front end, great at browsers and standards and deeply understanding and explaining technical topics, and the stem of my T-shaped skills is: "images, on the internet".

Most organisations want accessible websites, but their colour palettes weren't built for it.

Plenty of contrast checkers flag the problems. We couldn't find one that helps fix them, so we made one. Introducing...โœจThis hue shall passโœจ thishueshallpass.clearleft.com

This hue shall pass logo over a dimmed screenshot of the tool, showing a grid of colour swatches with contrast ratios and pass/fail icons. Text: "We made the tool we needed. This hue shall pass checks your palette and helps you fix failures in place, fast."

We are updating our AI Policy to reduce maintenance stress. All pull requests are now automatically closed, unless they are created by maintainers or users from an approved list of contributors. The PR is not lost. If the team decides the change is worth pursuing, we will reopen it.
