Live testing color palettes and fonts for web design. Made by a designer who’s really great, she runs a YouTube channel and made the site for free use by anyone.
How accurate are the palettes? Would we need to calibrate our monitors or does the site do that for you?
I doubt the site is able to calibrate to individual monitors, as there’s almost no way for it to know what you have.
Gotcha. So not too accurate for uncalibrated monitors then. Thanks!
If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org
It’s free and open source, and it’s very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.
It doesn’t display annoying ads.
Japanese chess is excellent too. Http://lishogi.org
All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org
The site’s founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!
I’m honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.
It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.
“You can do anything at Zombocom”
That is correct.
www.5minute.games
It’s a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.
…oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there’s no ads or monetization whatsoever.
This is really great! Thank you for this!
You’re welcome. Note the settings button, which gives some nice customization options. Feel free to share it with folks who might also enjoy it. :-)
Bookmarked this! Going to come in handy over the holidays especially. Thank you!!
Ian’s Shoelace Site:
Different ways to lace your shoes.The Phrontistery:
Glossaries of, e.g., obscure words, lost words, etc.Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian’s Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.
And Ian’s Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it’s as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.
The what???
zoo.replicate.dev - a bunch of free ai image generation models
snowfl - a search engine for torrents
http://wiby.me/ is a cool site. It’s a search engine that only has web 1.0 and web 1.0-styled websites.
Oh my, this is beautiful. Brings me back to the glory days of the Internet – when sites were quick to load, text was king, and you didn’t feel your privacy was violated at every turn.
Every music genre you can think of, and then some. I finally found out what the stuff I like is called.
This is how I found Die Partei, a great obscure German electronica artist
This is unbelievable, thanks for sharing!
The sample for “kids dance party” wasn’t something I ever thought I’d hear again.
Something that far too many managers and developers need to see, so they can better understand why their decisions and work completely sucks.
I love and hate this, it really managed to raise my blood pressure.
There is this really cool place called Lemmy, I’m sure many people here have heard of it but not anyone I ask in other places. It’s like Reddit, it’s a forum-esque place where people can exchange their thoughts. The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things, but overall it’s pretty nice.
We don’t need this reddit-level comment here.
We did all (or most of us) come from Reddit don’t forget. It’s in our blood at this point.
Filthy mudbloods.
We must resist our based instincts.
I don’t know, man
The people are a little biased on the extreme Marxist side of things
(and we like it that way, tyvm)
It’s one thing to have a dominant demographic, but any place could do without a black and white mindset when they go about it.
Lol.
I don’t see any problem with that.
Foldnfly.com - shows dozens of ways to fold paper airplanes.
www.thetruesize.com - Find the true size of one country compared to another.
FYI the bottom link is broken (but it’s easy enough to get there, lol)
I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.
I needed Unicode symbols for a story I’m working on. (I want to use them as “magic runes” so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard “runes” that are typically used.)
Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It’s not exact so if there’s no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn’t considered but which worked nicely for my uses.
There is a - pretty dead - community, but maybe some of you could revive it: !coolwebsites@lemmy.ca
I’ve actually seen this used in movies and TV shows.
It’s better than just showing jquery source code or html
