Cool stuff. would be nice to have a color blind mode. I literally can't distinguish the red from green in this visualization.

Created a temp hack for you: https://gist.github.com/ro31337/89b24edaec0a5bfbf73bc5abfbfb...

(don't forget to "allow pasting" in [chrome] console first)


Curious as someone that doesn't experience the issue but assumes that your system Accessibility settings, maybe high-contrast, would be useful instead of expecting individual sites to tailor their color palette... does that not work?

This comment prompted me to find out about colour filters for mac os. I enabled the red/green filter, which made it easier to see the differences on the site, however the downside is it affects a lot of other colors and images on other sites, so is not a feasible solution, for me at least.

I toggle it on and off with a keyboard shortcut on a rare occasion colors are hard to read for me. Mostly use it on my phone actually (it's a triple click of the lock button on my iPhone). There are shortcuts on Windows and MacOS too. Doesn't seem like it would be too inconvenient for someone that actually suffers from color blindness or a sight issue, I would expect they'd run into the issue more commonly than me and would then know how to solve it for themselves.

A lot more inconvenient for others to have to pick colors that satisfy all potential sight issues, which is primarily why I think it should be an OS solution rather than an individual creator's responsibility. It's not that I don't care about those with the sight issue, it's purely about who is responsible for creating a reasonable solution. And honestly, there's no way every creator is going to study accessibility and so it's just a never ending uphill battle. If you had a tool in your system already that could help, why wouldn't you use it?


fix(ui): improve accessibility and screen reader compatibility

People who make data visualizations should try to learn the "rules of thumb" to not confuse or exclude readers:

1) Avoid contrasting red/green and blue/yellow, as these are common colorblind pairs.

2) Pick shades that still look different when shown in grayscale.

3) All bar charts should have 0 at one end.

4) Please no 3-D pie charts.

To find good color palettes, check out https://colorbrewer2.org


Everyone is creating visuals, not just data scientists or designers that probably should know these rules.

I generally am against people who have expectations of how they want others to communicate. Be it colors, pronouns, whatever- you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment and it’s not out of malice so just move on or find your own way to deal with what people are putting out there.


Maybe a job for Daltonize:

It twiddles colors in a physiologically-aware manner to improve legibility for colorblind observers:

Came here to mention this. I'm also Red/Green colorblind.

There is also +/- % in the boxes

This is amazing for getting new team members onboarded with Claude Code processes and tools I use. Thanks for working on it. will give it a try tonight.


Love the product. Have you considered implementing panes and windows that work with tmux’s CC mode? Any considerations specifically for claude code or agentic terminal users?


i hope they implement something that can be used with tmux -CC mode.


100%. Love this approach by Anthropic. The Meta "monetization league" is assembling at OpenAI and doing what they've done best at Meta.

However, I do think we need to take Anthropic's word with a grain of salt, too. To say they're fully working in the user's interest has yet to be proven. This trust would require a lot of effort to be earned. Once the companies intends to or becomes public, incentives change, investors expect money and throwing your users under the bus is a tried and tested way of increasing shareholder value.


I wonder the same. Have been reading up on literature related to ADD/ADHD diagnosis and prescription stimulants. It seems like there is little to no friction in getting a legit positive diagnosis. One can pretend to have issues securing a medication that is only meant for strong ADHD patients. I know someone who was able to get their hand on a lot of such stimulants, got addicted, went over the typical dosage, and is now suffering from psychosis.


lol, that's the first pdf link i could find of this article.


I wonder what's the false negative rate for these checklists.


Thanks for sharing, will read these.


https://spectator.com/article/how-a-fraudulent-experiment-se... Goes over things pretty well - the experiment seems to have been almost completely fraudulent with fabricated or heavily cherry-picked data.


An experiment where they sent normal people to mental institutes to see if professionals would be able to identify them.


And interestingly, how often the patients in the ward could spot these normal people while the medical staff did not.
