#22Kudos! As a nostalgic side note, I'm not even that old, and I miss when the Internet looked like this. Just regular folks learning HTML and writing about something they find interesting. These days, everything looks like it was built in a Wix or Squarespace factory.
Thank you - appreciated =)

Chrome inspector shows the contrast as 5.07 which seems to pass the recommended AA 4.5 threshold.
I tried fiddling with the colors in the inspector, if you increase the contrast you start to get something I would describe as burn-in, after images in vision of the lines of text. Very uncomfortable, I actually prefer it with lower contrast.

#25Nicely organized and well done! Thank you.
For all people like me addicted to this kind of reference websites full of information, check out http://hyperpolyglot.org/unix-shells (and all pages on http://hyperpolyglot.org/ actually).

Good advice - didn't cross my mind at all. I'm working on some theming and the contrast should be suited for vision-impaired or have an option for this, in about a week or so.

#27Nice job for a first site! You must have learned a lot about bash while working it :)

Somehow i doubt it's testing the grey on black when it is getting that number. Or if it is, it's probably being thrown off in averaging out the high contrast of the orange on black.

#29Looks great! Can you add a feature to copy the flag/notation/etc when you click on it?
Good idea! - Try checking back in a week or two if you're interested, and I'll properly have it setup by then.

Firefox's accessibility tool doesn't even see most of the text when making its calculation.
