perhaps off topic, but I love your personal site being webb.page… that’s perfect
It's a very cool design. The scrolling is weird but I like it.

#32All I see is black text on a white background. I'm using Firefox on Android. I assume it's supposed to show more?
Same here, but on chromium PC.
Maybe a broken cache on an edge network serving up a bad asset to only some geographic areas, or something that was served broken for a moment but got cached.

#33Is 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?

Re: Uchū – Color palette for internet lovers
#34I suppose there is no hard requirement for consistent saturation between hues, but that seems a bit inconsistent to my tastes. Darker yellow and orange colours seem a little too washed out.
Overall I like the total palette though. Especially the avoidance of “red” red, which is a colour I think many designers dislike. I would love to see a study on colour preferences in relation to eye colour.
In the same vein, but with more hues… https://www.s-ings.com/scratchpad/oklch-smooth/

Sorry to be negative, but it does seem kind of overdone now.
Funnily enough in Japan the same thing happens with seemingly randomly-selected English words, so I suppose it's not completely without precedent.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
What would this example page have on it? Do you have a favorite layout?
You mention elsewhere that you used this on a bunch of your own projects, are there any you can share?
https://blog.neuenet.com, https://webb.page, and https://inc.sh...https://dsgn.agency will get updated with it soon (it's using Sapper, the awkward stand-in before SvelteKit).
I'm also building a social network with it, here's a screenshot[1] and video[2]

Newer generations growing up more familiar with Japanese culture (e.g. anime), videogames, and non-retro cultural references, naming things after words they find pleasant (for a lack of better word) to hear.

"uchū" means "universe" in Japanese. I use this theme for all of my projects so...universal.
I can't speak to anything else but personally, I love Japan style/aesthetic/whatever so I'm gonna use a word if it fits.
