I want to use the fancy new oklch color format but I can't find an accessibility contrast checker.
People using oklch, how are you doing a11y checks? I assume lighthouse can but I'd rather check ahead of time.

I got an angry email from my client who I made an eCommerce website for, saying that all images on the website link to his competitors. I had no idea what he was talking about and nothing was wrong in Firefox but then I checked Edge and it adds a visual search button overlay on all images that you can click to get Bing search results.
How do I explain I can't turn it off without breaking other functions of the website to someone who uses Edge and isn't tech savy at all?
I think it's pretty wild for Edge to have it hard coded in their browser, am I crazy?

Crossposted because this community is bigger,
So the scenario I have right now is quite unique, there is an existing wordpress site that handles, membership, user auth, etc basically everything and a new Next JS app that relies on supabase for authentication, this app will be embedded into a member's only area of the Wordpress site and should not be able to be visited externally or outside of the website. The scenario I have now is a de-sync in how Wordpress and Supabase are authenticating users differently. When a new user joins, a new user is similarly made on Supabase but with a different ..read more

Do you know if there is some flashcard-like quiz that would show me a string for example like "rgb(255, 255, 0)" or "hsl(221 12% 53%)" and I would need to guess a color from that?
Maybe an anki deck, or maybe a website? I think I saw something similar on a YouTube video, but I'm not sure if it was a public website or not

I will be slowly migrating to the freelancing world (not all at once, of course, I'll do it on the side until its self supporting... if ever), targeting small business at first in the city which I'll be residing in. My personal tech stack is python (flask), html, css, MySQL (if needed), and js (most often vanilla, especially when I work alone). All of my personal projects have been hosted on pythonanywhere, hitherto. Is this type of hosting service generally a good idea for freelancers? I'm thinking about the future... if I ever decide to back out (after fulfilling any standing contracts, of ..read more

A few months back, I was hit with a need for a client: the ability to easily craft transactional emails that could be tweaked and improved without a fuss. My mind immediately went to Tailwind.
After some digging, I stumbled upon Maizzle and thought it was pretty neat. But what I was really hunting for was a cloud solution to this puzzle. So, I rolled up my sleeves and created Mailwind.
Mailwind is a SaaS API that lets you hook up your email provider (think Resend, Sendgrid, etc.), whip up Tailwind layouts & templates, and with just a simple API call, generate and shoot out the email.

We've had an app-only FinTech service for sometime now and the idea of a responsive web app has been floated recently. The goal is to be able to embed this new webapp (as a webview) in a clients app (with SSO) and also have it function as a standalone desktop friendly webapp.
The mobile app is built on react native. Is to worth exploring rn web? Or is it just better to look at rebuilding in Next?
I've never tried rn web and rarely came across anyone using it, but heard good things.
We're a startup, and this needs to be completed fast and cost effectively. But it will also be a long term proje ..read more

This is sort of self-explanatory. The unused domain [my last name].com (placeholder for my real last name) is currently owned by an enterprise-level domain host called "Vautron Rechenzentrum AG" according to ICANN.
It is a German company, and with the help of Google Translate I determined that:
There's no way for me to even check if I could purchase the domain if I was an enterprise level corporation without providing personal info
The entire thing is completely out of my price range as it is of course not intended for the average consumer
The ownership of the website expires in late 2024 ..read more

Kind a TLDR but I own a company non tech service based company that has 35 employees. The industry is super low tech so as a younger person in the industry, I always hated all the software tools available for our niche. I ended up building my own app for certain things over the last few years in my free time. MERN stack. Front end and backend. The employees really like it and want me to replace more features of the archaic software that they use. But I dont have enough time to run the company and build and maintain this. And there are parts of dev I love and parts I could live without. I don ..read more
