Hacker News Reader

Excuse me for shamelessly self-promoting on Christmas Eve but I’ve built just the tool for that! https://adriannier.de/colordoggy

Welp buying this immediately. I'm colorblind but dabble in some art and some design work and this will be super useful. I've found tools that will display rgb values, but translating that to a color mentally isn't particulary easily.

Thanks for the support! :)

Is Mac this ubiquitous nowadays on Hacker News?

This tool is Mac Only and that's mentioned neither here nor in the article. Only after reading the article, when you want to use the tool, and you scroll down to download it, you finally see that there's only one Mac only Download Button.

Now you know how I felt growing up in the 90s. Like… we were supposed to get Halo not you! :)

FWIW, we did get Halo 1, and I think the Mac version was the first to let you fly a banshee and shoot a fuel rod cannon. Maybe PC came out first with, but these didn’t make it into the Xbox version. Mac might have been the first online halo play as well

Nope - I am on Linux only and have been for years.
