> This is not burnout, this is simply bad planning.

This is not helpful, this is simply Besserwisser nonsense.


> You mean all the other blogs? Do you mean all blogs that don't state skin colors in the domain/name are done by white people? That's one of the more racist and demeaning comments I've seen here.


I mean, all the other blogs that highlight stories of predominantly white men in tech.

If you really feel that white people are poorly represented in online literature, feel free to create a "Whites In Tech" blog.

Also, can you be racist against a ethnic group that is in the majority and wields nearly limitless power?


> What worked for printed text has no bearing for what works on an illuminated screen.

Yes it does.

> ... but it is equally important that things aren't too bright. You should avoid using extremes like #000000 and #ffffff ...

No, you shouldn't avoid them. Users are fully capable of adjusting the brightness and contrast of their monitors.

> Believe me, as a 50+ year old, I notice when it's hard to read things.

I believe you. I just don't think your personal experience is relevant.


> Users are fully capable of adjusting the brightness and contrast of their monitors.

It'd be a hack. The buttons are not sturdy enough for it, they're even not designed for it and the colour representation will be very incorrect.

Instead of asking every website to blast every user with the highest amount of contrast, modify your own display to do so if your eyes need it. That way the need and the solution is localized to where it should be.


What point where you making?


Cool. But please fix that light gray text on white background in the demo (or make it even paler for more avant-garde :)


Do you have a screenshot please ? I didn't notice where. Thanks
