What Hacker News says?
The RCloud project covered some of this ground https://cscheid.net/2015/08/17/collaborative-visual-analysis... It takes the view that everything should be saved and versioned. In hindsight it seems obvious that this can overwhelm people with dead ends and scratch work and in general the flat workbook space doesn't provide enough help with organizing results. There are some other ideas mentioned in the conclusion of…

HN discussionThanks! I could find little information on HCL, but based on this blog post [0] it seems that it is a cylindrical version of CIE LUV. This is the color space that HUSL is based on.

To put it in another way, it stretches the chroma compone…
