It is hard to take color advice from someone who thinks it's a good idea for their blog to be black on intense yellow, with code samples light on black background.
I'm not being facetious. The author is trying to show comparisons to the reader of various syntax highlighting schemes, but any difference between them is overwhelmed by the massive contrast between the bright yellow background and the black background of the code samples.
- smlavine 1y agoI think it's fine. Better than purple on dark-grey that I've seen posted here.
- dysoco 1y agoI think it's fine and it's certainly very recognizable
- hn_acc1 1y agoDang, that was hard on the eyes..
- morshu9001 1y agoI agree with the advice but yeah, this website burned my eyes
- laktak 1y agoyellow? had to go back to check - Try Darkreader :)
- ash_091 1y agoAgreed, I had to check a couple of other pages on his site to make sure it wasn't ironically done for just that particular post.
- bitexploder 1y agoI immediately stopped reading when I saw the yellow. I like colors. I like rainbow delimiters. I will not change at this point. I am okay with minimalistic highlighting. Used to use visual studio with more minimalistic highlighting, and that was fine too. It is a preference and I don't think it is worth indexing much on. If it bothers you, change it until it doesn't. I don't think about it much.
- Svoka 1y agoI know. This is literally the ugliest page I saw this year. Bright background, bunch of ugly signs in header, text just gaslighting you about some shit.
