big shoutout to the person responsible for hyping up facebook's new dating features as some other department confirms that they let almost a half a billion phone numbers leak

That sounds rough. I appreciate your offering a viewpoint I hadn't considered.

We're planning to release a simple palette for now, but we'll try to follow up soon with a second version to try to address some of these issues.

@attackfish @Xantulon @cryptpad

Is there a risk that high contrast contributes to a seizure? If so, how do you handle that? Browser extensions to make things more muted?

@Xantulon @attackfish @cryptpad

Yea, we have to consider what's best for the users and also balance that against how complicated a feature we can realistically support as a small team.

It's tricky, but it helps to hear different perspectives on the issue.

@Xantulon @cryptpad

A member of our team installed the "let's get colorblind" extension for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/let-s-get-color-blind/

It gives you an idea of what different people will see, but doesn't go so far as to offer a preconfigured set of colors that people could adopt.

For example, I know if I want to choose a font which will be easier to read for people with dyslexia I can use https://opendyslexic.org/

From what I can tell there's no ready solution for accessible color palettes.

@moopet @cryptpad

I agree with having more hints, but we're taking this one step at a time.

"check the red folder" is guaranteed to happen, I was just hoping that we can make it so instead of "red" it's something more people can recognize.

It's possible there's no set of 16-20 colors that satisfies these constraints, I don't know, but I'd rather hear that answer from someone with firsthand experience before making a decision for them.

@tj @ansuz not offhand but I could set it up again and see. In any case it would vary based on how sunny it is.
