Exactly right. Thanks for sharing that information. We took "Show HN" out of the title on this one.
Thanks, sorry for the mixup!
LOL Colors: Curated Color Palettes

Re: LOL Colors: Curated Color Palettes
#42Highly recommended: the Adobe Color website (before Kuler): https://color.adobe.com/explore/most-popular/?time=all Also the mobile app is extremely well done (can create color schemes from picture or live from the camera)
In a similar vein I'd recommend ColourLovers[1]. Been using them for I think close to a decade for color, palette, pattern and general design inspiration. Comparable to Kuler you can browse[2] or search[3] their palettes. [1]: http://www.colourlovers.com/ [2]: http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes [3]: http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/search
I have a habit of collecting sites like this.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
how did you do this?
I inserted some JS code via the console that scrolls to the bottom of the page whenever the 'collection-assets' div changed, waited, ran observer.disconnect() as my browser was crashing to a halt, and then saved the HTML and combed through it with regexes. var target = document.querySelector('.collection-assets'); var observer = new MutationObserver(function() { window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight); }); var…
The API just returns JSON; paging through that is much cleaner than hooking into events and parsing HTML with regex.

Right, I tried that first but I couldn't actually get it to return any data. I think I was screwing up the request headers. Now though I remembered the Firebug "copy as cURL" thing and it's working, so yeah, definitely a better way to do it.

#45They kinda look like some type of dildo/buttplug. Just saying... :)

#46This seems like a fun project and it is inspiring that the author challenged himself to make it, it's very commendable and something I was planning on doing myself when I get some free time. What follows is a tangentially related rant, so feel free to skip it if you don't care about WordPress. I watched the video[vid] and I was shocked when he got to he WordPress-vs-Rails debate. I'll ignore the fact that both of the…
WordPress is one of the easiest-to-use CMSs out there and has changed over the years to be much more than a blogging engine. It's not abuse, it's intended by Automatic because they've modified core to support these features.
I agree that WP has certainly made it easier to do these kinds of things, but I still think it's a classic case of using the wrong tool for the wrong job. There is a whole lot of different "eco system" of features in there that you don't use. What is worse, these unused features (or plugins that add multiple features) that you don't care about are potential attack vectors, but I've made this off-topic enough. So, I'll drop it.
Re: LOL Colors: Curated Color Palettes
#47This triggers me. Besides having no explanation whatsoever, none of these palettes are usable for similar roles. So if you are able to pick a palette that suits your needs, it means you are able to understand what you need from your palette. If it's the case, it is highly likely that you can generate a better palette yourself. Do a quick test: take a screenshot of the site, then completely desaturate the image. The v…
Funnily enough, as far as I've ever been able to tell, the phrase "LOL colours" would mean "these colours are stupid". (Of course, as I no longer 14 years old, who can say for sure that I've inferred correctly? And I couldn't figure out the right search terms for urbandictionary, which is ordinarily helpful for this sort of question. But I imagine it's somewhat related to this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p…
Based on the name I assumed (before visiting) the site to be some form of satire. After visiting it, I am not sure. Could be, could also be serious.

Interesting — What would you suggest using for comics though?
Sadly, I don't know of any alternatives, short of coming up with a custom solution.
I tend to like Jekyll for this type of thing, even though Jekyll isn't ideal either, because it also seems to be primarily oriented towards blogging or textual content. However it would be easy to create a comic-type post and a text-based posts template or separate the blog content completely from the main/comic content (which isn't "posts" anyway); you can do the same in WordPress, but it does require more hacking and wouldn't feel as "natural," IMO.
