#3I'm working on a tool for creating custom color palettes for web designs that pass WCAG contrast requirements:
https://www.inclusivecolors.com/
- You can precisely tweak every shade/tint so you can incorporate your own brand colors. No AI or auto generation!
- It helps you build palettes that have simple to follow color contrast guarantees by design e.g. all grade 600 colors have 4.5:1 WCAG contrast (for body text) against all grade 50 colors, such as red-600 vs gray-50, or green-600 vs gray-50.
- There's export options for plain CSS, Tailwind, Figma, and Adobe.
- It uses HSLuv for the color picker, which makes it easier to explore accessible color combinations because only the lightness slider impacts the WCAG contrast. A lot of design tools still use HSL, where the WCAG contrast goes everywhere when you change any slider which makes finding contrasting colors much harder.
- Check out the included example open source palettes and what their hue, saturation and lightness curves look like to get some hints on designing your own palettes.
It's probably more for advanced users right now but I'm hoping to simplify it and add more handholding later.
Really open to any feedback, feature requests, and discussing challenges people have with creating accessible designs. :)

#4My partner and I are working on Supabird.io (https://supabird.io), a tool to help people grow on X in a more consistent and structured way. It analyzes viral posts within specific communities so users can learn what works and apply those insights to their own content.
My partner shares our journey on X (@hustle_fred), while I’ve been focused on building the product (yep, the techie here :). We’re excited to have onboarded 43 users in our first month, and we're looking forward to getting feedback from the HN community!

#6I’m working on https://unrav.io
Building a new layer of hyper-personalization over the web. Instead of generating more content, it helps you reformat and interact with what already exists, turning any page, paper, or YouTube video into a summary, mind-map, podcast, infographic or chat.
The broader idea is to make the web adaptive to how each person thinks and learns.

#7Adding new transports and documentation to my Typescript logging library (MIT licensed), LogLayer (https://loglayer.dev). Just added documentation for Bun and Deno support added some new logging library transports (LogTape), and finishing up Logflare and Betterstack transports so you can send logs to their logging APIs.

#10I'm working on 1:6 size furniture. There's not much woodworking I can do outside of the shop, so I've been trying to shrink full joinery techniques down to dollhouse size.
