I have change the bg color

Seems like a great app, but I have to ask:

https://scriberpro.cc/about/ Are you trolling people with this page's design? Unreadable colors AND a wobble effect? :D

Also, disabling scrolling and using swipe for sections instead _at a font size that causes text to overflow_, depending on phone screen size, meaning a bunch of the site is _literally_ unreadable, since it's off the screen with no way to get there.

reading on drugs simulator?

I honestly thought it would be nothing more than a fun little easter egg, Red was a bold choice I admit. ! I will making a css update soon

They also mean the 3D effect (and there's also a blur one)

The landing page is difficult to read due to the strong red background.

Thank you. I have heard this : P - It will change soon.

I learned this as a young developer writing status pages. I had a colour-blind colleague, so text on green/yellow/red.

Typically white text works better on red.

Reds people choose are usually between dark and light, which doesn't contrast particularly well on anything because for good contrast you need a dark color vs a light color.

Green, yellow, red or whatever hue is fine, as long as it's dark or light enough. Colorblind and non-colorblind people can see how dark or light a color is (luminance), but they might not agree on the hue. That's why WCAG contrast checks require luminance contrast and not hue contrast.

It's best to use a contrast checker because it's not always intuitive how dark or light a color is e.g. yellow and lime are almost as light as white.

I can’t read this site. Red background, dark grey/black text, is a terrible terrible choice for colors for readability. There were some words there but all I could make out were the header on my mobile phone.

The first thought I had when it loaded was, "Did we forget how to make webpages?"

Sorry. I'm sure the software is great, but yeah.

No need to apologize!

Oh I see title ate your h2 text. Thats no good. Thanks for showing me

The red looks great. Takes me back to the old days.

MY EYES

Red was a bold choice ill admit

That page has a very aggressive background color and really low contrast. Extremely annoying.

Thank you ! I think I was actually going for that

You were going for *really low contrast* ? That's an interesting goal to have.
