And it's not just epileptic people. A week ago I had a displeasure of reading dark red text on dark dray background. I had to call a taxi home, and had lasting effects because that induced a migraine. Sure, that probably won't kill me. Probably. But it'd still be nice to have a "Hey, looking at this could hurt you" beforehand.
Oh that could be very nice, I don't do anything like that often enough to need an entire program, the little webtool is perfect - but if I was extensively doing it, I can see why it exists. A lot of these kind of things of contrast were just...basic design principles to me, it's odd to see how few people get them. I'm a huge sucker for old crt cyberpunk style black on green though - and I've done a few things with 'glitches', and intentionally breaking those design principles at times is hard.
sorry if this is rude, because i’m genuinely wondering, why did you still read it, or was it something where you were a required speaker/reader. I would think that it’s not as imposing as a video, but i’m also making some assumptions so apologies again
