HN discussionI've made some good progress on my Dashboard project [1] during the quarantine. Currently I'm (re-)writing the tests from enzyme to react-testing-library. I've also decided to redesign my Bookmarks app [2] recently - it's now one of my few designs that I'm really happy with :) [1] https://dashboard.darekkay.com/ [2] https://darekkay.com/static-marks/

HN discussionI've analyzed the palette with my own tool, a11y-contrast[1], and indeed the luminance is not uniform. I wrote [2] about why this might be a desired property of a color palette. [1] https://github.com/darekkay/a11y-contrast [2] https://darekkay.com/blog/accessible-color-palette/
