Yeah, I'm at the point where I'm looking at manually positioning/removing one of those full-screen dimming filters so I can use my monitor past 7pm. And 90% of the time if a screen goes really dim it does so with savage PWM.
Yes, PWM is another big issue. I'm very sensitive to it. Even though I grew up with CRT's (or perhaps because of that). Luckily my display doesn't do that. It's also very hard to figure out through reviews so I'm glad it doesn't. I was thinking about such a filter. But I haven't seen them for sale, I just know they exist (I was thinking about ND filters used in photography). But I wasn't sure if they exist at this si…
The brand I found when I did the research was LightDims. They seem to come in pretty large sheets. Haven't actually ordered any though.
Yeah, I'm also PWM sensitive. You can buy devices which measure it fortunately but I've been making do with a phone camera on a high/brief shutter speed.

I'm also equally confused how essentially a list of boxes with colours gets 476 points.
I don't mind that it has that many points - I actually really like the work that guy did. What I don't understand is why all the comments are so weird. It's like everyone who had a bad day decided to come here and take it out on this his work.

#224Is there any reason to use the word uchu? It seems like almost everything (colour schemes, AI models, startups, tools, apps, ...) is named using a single randomly-selected Japanese word these days. But... why?
Japanese and Scandinavian design have a long history of simplicity and subtlety; addition by subtraction and minimalism. Makes sense for projects with those principles in mind.

I'm not colorblind, but I'm older, and I can't read the kind of low-contrast stuff I wouldn't even notice as being low-contrast in my 20s or 30s.
An honest interest, have you tried a dark mode on any device? Every time I tried it (sometimes as a new default setting after update for some JetBrains IDE), I did not like it at all for some reason as too much eye stress.
I prefer high-contrast dark mode, it seems less tiring to me, but I think it depends on the light conditions around the PC. It's usually not very bright where I work.
If it's very bright, I prefer light mode.
Re: Uchū – Color palette for internet lovers
#227I'm confused by the usage of the word color scheme. To me a color scheme is something like monokai. A small number of colors that go well together. The application (eg syntax highlighting in a code editor) is obvious and easy. This is just...lots of monochrome colors? How would I use this? Not trying to be dismissive, I'm just confused.
This is similar to how Tailwind provides a complete color palette to use in UI development.
Different shades of a single hue give you flexibility to create UI elements that feel like a family and coordinate well with each other. As an example, you might want a blue card with similarly blue borders. You may use a lighter blue for the background, and a darker one for the borders.
Instead of using a black border with opacity applied, each shade for this palette has been individually selected to fit within its hue family. The other benefit is, for each "shade level" you can guarantee they will be consistent across hues: 50% gray is near 50% red, etc.
More generally, this is designed so that each hue looks great with every other hue here. Not just any color will do, they need to coordinate.

As an autistic geek who is angry at the world, I'd like to point out that he didn't exclusively refer to autistics but specified autistic geeks.
Re: Uchū – Color palette for internet lovers
#229I have a similar thing going on, so I sort of know what I'm talking about.(1)
But this is just list of colors made to look fancy. Though I like the oklch color space. But what's up with this orange `oklch(78.75% 0.14163582809066333 54.32911089172009)`. Why the needlessly long decimals. The difference I can spot is minimal, when truncating a few decimals.

This isn't preschool where you present your work to the teacher to receive a gold star. This is someone presenting something to "professionals" providing critical feedback. That's always going to be ripe for someone getting their feelings hurt.
Sometimes, it's well deserved feedback that is not pleasant to hear, but if you get bent out of shape as a developer because of it, then you're just going to have a tough life. No developer is perfect. There is always room for improvement. If you think you're perfect and your Show HN is flawless, then please wait while I grab some popcorn.
For this specific example, it's data inadequate type of release. I would say the landing page needs more information, but it's just one page, so the "top portion" definitely needs some work. Great, there's an acceptable display of the various color "charts" that the product actually is intended, but there's no information on what it is, why it works, or why "internet lovers" would be interested.
For instance, the name. I had to internet search to find the meaning of the name to see if maybe that would provide some insight. Nope. That didn't help much at all. Although, I now know a new Japanese word.
This is something that looks to be developed by someone that is passionate about this, but overlooked that not everyone that would view their post as intimately versed in the topic. Let's face it, most devs might as well be colorblind when it comes to the results of their UIs. You can always tell when the devs/coders built the UI vs when a team with actual design skills were involved. Just look at the beginnings of pretty much every single *nix.
