I feel like I kind of get the spirit that this is done in, but it’s just not for me. Abstracting away from the existing 6 digit hex color codes just seems like extra work, even though it’s presented as ‘simplifying.’ It may just be too late for me - I’ve already learned how to express color sufficiently by mixing 256 levels of R, G, and B - it’s not useful to relearn how to abstract that to mixing 10 levels of the same, in a less exact less prescriptive manner.

I AM genuinely glad this person is having fun with the little world they’re creating, and that they’re bothering to share it.

What's with the ridiculous condescension?

I'm also glad that little person you typed your little comments with your fingers! That you created such a fun little comment! And that you shared it with us. Wowie! Good job.

I’m am not genuinely glad to see that you wasted everybody’s time with your inappropriately snarky response, if that makes you feel better - you’re reading negativity where none was intended. As I said, I am genuinely glad. Everyone ought to have fun worn their own little worlds, and feel comfortable sharing it. Maybe one day you too will get to experience that feeling.

My sincere apologies!

I was misreading due to — I think noticeable — negativity in other comments.

I just have to say… The comments in this HN thread are The Worst. Judgy and weird and missing the point. Splash is fun and cool.
