Unfortunately the 'for' doesn't match the ID of the input element, so it won't work - for example on the inches-centimetres converter demo the first label should have for="inches" (as the input has id="inc

A bit of feedback on accessibility. By the looks of your demo page, you're not using the 'for' attribute to associate form labels to their fields. This makes the forms very difficult to use for users of assistive tech, includ

Unfortunately it looks like the output, at least on the web, is completely inaccessible. The DOM of the Simple Calculator example ( https://calculator.platform.uno/ ) and the gallery ( https://gallery.platform.uno&#

The headline's a little misleading IMO - this article isn't about making Linux render text like macOS does (hinting and anti-aliasing methods etc), it's just about replacing the default fonts Edit: Headline's been change

Unfortunately screen reader support isn't great at the moment, but using HTML instead of canvas is definitely going to make it easier for you to improve. I'd encourage you to download the free NVDA screen reader ( https:/&#x2

The algorithm used is defined in WCAG: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G18.html#te... . It does attempt to calculate the luminance but you might be referring to a more accurate algorithm.

I've had various issues with Revolut, but there is human support available (eventually) - if you type 'human' in the bot chat you get connected to an agent. The fact that it's the only support channel available - no phon

I agree with your prediction; for context, Larson has objected to his cartoons being posted online for decades, so this would be significant even if we're not getting new material: https://www.comicmix.com/2008/03&

I was able to add the tracking code to my site without signing up and could see the stats without any authentication (see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18024886 ). Is that by design?
