Scripts I wrote that I use all the time

evanhahn.com/scripts-i-wrote-that-i-use-all-the-time

I've written a number of little scripts over the years, many of which I use every day. Here's a little collection.

I use z-run for something like this.

The faded world: my experience with cataract

journal.paoloamoroso.com/the-faded-world-my-experience-with-cataract

This is a personal story I hope will give web designers and user interface experts some food for thought: my experience with reading digital screens with eyesight degraded by cataract. There may be more users with suboptimal vision than usually thought.

I always preferred the light theme and never figured what's the fuss with the dark theme. Until cataract came.

ametameric - color contrast for all

pippin.gimp.org/ametameric

A 16 color palette for dichromats and trichromats

Ametameric is as a system palette that provides the standard CGA/ANSI colors accomodating various forms of human color blindness/color vision deficiencies. 16 colors (including white, black and two grays) that all provide sufficient contrast for all common types of color vision. When working as intended, TUIs made to work well with the system colors (rather than 256/true color) should become accesible for color vision deficient users without further tweaks needed.

YaLTeR/niri: A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

github.com/YaLTeR/niri

Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right.
Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.

Every monitor has its own separate window strip.
Windows can never "overflow" onto an adjacent monitor.

Since windows go left-to-right horizontally, workspaces are arranged vertically.
Every monitor has an independent set of workspaces, and there's always one empty workspace present all the way down.

All these scrolling WM:s sound so fun! I want to try one one day.

Federation is the Future for an Open Web

beza1e1.tuxen.de/federation_future.html

P2P technology is doomed on mobile [because of small batteries]. For a democratic web, we need to work on federation.

The author thought so in 2016. 8 years later I'm developing for the federated web, cool. I like how they mention Diaspora, which is history now.

The Surprising Truth About Pixels and Accessibility

www.joshwcomeau.com/css/surprising-truth-about-pixels-and-accessibility

The truth is, if you want to build the most-accessible product possible, you need to use both pixels and ems/rems. It's not an either/or situation. There are circumstances where rems are more accessible, and other circumstances where pixels are more accessible.

Deep in a forest in the Burgundy region, a group of enthusiasts is building a castle the medieval way — no motorized machines included.

Very cool! I wanna see it.

~mariusor/brutalinks - Link aggregator inspired by reddit using ActivityPub federation. - sourcehut git

git.sr.ht/~mariusor/brutalinks

This project represents a new attempt at the social link aggregator service. It is modelled after (old)Reddit, HackerNews, and Lobste.rs trying to combine the good parts of these services while mapping them on the foundation of an ActivityPub generic service called FedBOX.

It targets small to medium communities which ideally focus on a single topic. At the same it allows the community to reach other similar services and the rest of the fediverse ecosystem through the ability to federate.
