If you design a webpage that looks like an app loading screen, and have to put the word "SCROLL" at the bottom, I think that's a design failure, for the same/similar reasons that "click here" links are.
This is why in metro microsoft made the first screen go like 90% there instead of 100%, makes it clear that there is more content beneath.
TIL about oklch() https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value...
And when I tried it out for myself I was amazed at the color boost. That's when I decided to create a theme!
Have you tried running any readability analysis on this? Feels like the contrast on the background and foreground is too low to make for comfortable (long term) reading.
Is 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?
And you can say: “I choose you, Uchū!” ;)
But yeah, jūiro would have been more fitting.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"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.
"uchu" translates closer to "space" (spaceship -> uchusen), (alien -> uchujin), "I want to go to outerspace" -> "uchi e ikitai". You can't sub universe in those. Yes, a dictionary may use that translation, but watch a space documentary and they won't use "uchu" by itself for "universe". Also, in English, "universal" and "universe" are clearly related, but in Japanese, the concept of "universal" has almost nothing in…
あらゆる存在物を包容する無限の空間と時間の広がり。
So it (if you trust this definition) refers to time as well as space. It’s slightly more abstract than just ‘space’.
The Japanese entry corresponding to the English Wikipedia entry for ‘universe’ is also called 宇宙, though it is of course effectively about space.
…considering it further, I think you’re completely right. I’ll leave what I’ve written above in case it’s of interest to others.
This is exactly why I read HN! So cool. And a fellow Svelte lover. 10/10. Good luck with the social network! It’s brutal out there.. PS — would be so cool to see a tailwind plugin of this (which in v4 should be just copying the vars in.. I didn’t look at the repo super closely). Great shit!
RE: social network, I'm also gonna charge money to use it so I'm not yet another free option with a dubious future...an extremely tiny portion of people would pay for a social network so I'm hoping I can add enough features to make it feel worth it. So yeah, it's gonna be tough af out here LOL!
I've never used Tailwind because CSS-in-JS weirds me out. I looked at the docs and it seems like I just wrap my custom colors in `@theme.css`? Is there anything else I'd have to do? https://tailwindcss.com/docs/theme

The gray palette would make a good Emacs colorscheme. By the way, great web site! [0]. Been quite a while since I thought that. [0] https://webb.page
Does Emacs support oklch? I wish Sublime Text did but it doesn't (otherwise I'd have a few themes launch with this as well).
Very nice colours. However I am mildly red-green colour blind like 5% of men (and very few women) and the two in the middle look practically the same to me. The left and third from left are almost indistinguishable too. I'm guessing this isn't the case for everybody?
