I loved playing with the color pickers here: https://bottosson.github.io/misc/colorpicker/

As a very-amateur designer, I feel like things I design would be non-trivially impacted by the use of one of these alternative color pickers. Fiddling around with them I felt like I was "discovering" different colors than in the classic HSV pickers.

That's interesting to hear! Adding one (or more) of these color pickers is on my to-do list for papaya.io. :)

I love hckrnews. I've been looking for this site/program for literally years now. More specifically the author's blog and this post https://apoorvaj.io/building-a-fast-modern-image-editor/ and the consequent ones after.

Looking at you, Tableau.
