Pure SASS script for calculating contrast ratios of colors. MOVED TO: https://github.com/voxpelli/sass-color-helpers

Pure SASS-adaption of Lea Verou's contrast-ratio javascript. Can be useful when eg. generating colored buttons from a single supplied color as you can then check which out of a couple of text colors would give the best contrast.

This script currently lacks the support for alpha-transparency that Lea supports in her script though.

In addition to the color-contrast adaption there's also some math methods that were needed to be able to calculate the exponent of a number and especially so when the exponent is a decimal number. A 2.4 exponent is used to calculate the luminance of a color and calculating such a thing is not something that SASS supports out of the box and not something I found a good pure-SASS script for calculating and I much prefer pure-SASS over ruby extensions. The math methods might perhaps be unecessary though if you're running Compass or similar as they may provide compatible math methods themselves.

Normal usage: `color: pick_best_color(#f00

How to make your own Xanadu demo

Twitter informed that a demo of Xanadu had launched, so I went to have a look. The demo only works in Firefox and it seems to be a cut down version of demos that I've seen Ted Nelson give in the past. But still: running code in the wild.

I met Ted Nelson once when we both spoke at an STM Innovations conference in 2006. I suspect he wouldn't have agreed with my much of my talk which looked at the web as a hypertext system and compared it with earlier approaches. My point of view was that we could bring those features back into the web by creating new services and by exploiting Javascript and web browsers to upgrade our experience of using the web. Evolution doesn't need to happen in a coordinated centralised way.

(When I say I met Ted Nelson, I meant that I shyly sat next to him at lunch while he expounded on various topics and fiddled with the tape recorder he was using to record all his conversations. So maybe, "met" isn't the right word (he won't

Use macOS-style shortcuts in Windows

Use macOS-style shortcuts in Windows / keyboard mappings using a Mac keyboard on Windows

ℹ️ There is a newer alternative project that does similar things and more, check it out at https://github.com/stevenilsen123/mac-keyboard-behavior-in-windows

Make Windows PC's shortcut act like macOS (Mac OS X) (using AutoHotkey (ahk) script)

With this AutoHotKey script, you can use most macOS style shortcuts (eg, cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) on Windows with a standard PC keyboard.

How does it work
