Joel Califa's personal blog at joelcalifa.com covers design and programming. Since 2014, 17 different Hacker News readers have linked it 20 times, most often “Tiny Wins”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Joel Califa's personal site, with a portfolio-style design and a text-to-color engine. Commenters link his 'Patronizing Passwords' post as a source of examples of condescending password rules.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Professional problem solver. Frown upside down.

HN discussionI have a similar engine up at http://joelcalifa.com/colors Mine can also do colors like "banana" or "bubblegum". Pretty simple to put together actually. Rather than manually putting together a list of colors, I just use the ColourLovers API. You can also use up and down arrows to move between results or the return key to "make a poem," which I fully agree was a weird feature to add.
