What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

A tool for building WCAG accessible Tailwind-like color palettes for UI/web design. :)

https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

> Instead of only working with a handful of colors, you can create a whole palette of swatches at the same time so you can see if they look good together.

> Precise control of every shades/tints in each swatch rather than being limited by autogenerated colors.

> See which color pairs contrast as you edit so you can create a palette with built-in WCAG accessibility. This way you can plan in advance which foreground colors (for headings, body text, form fields and so on) should contrast on which background colors, so you can avoid running into surprise low contrast issues later when designing.

Tried it out on mobile and thought the site had broken the back button. Turned out to just be a history entry for every click/drag (which grows quite quickly). I found that quite off-putting but maybe that's a bit like an "undo" in this context...?

Either way, I didn't appreciate the 100+ entries in my history.

Oops, that should be it fixed. Desktop version has more features by the way, the mobile version is more of a preview.
