The idea was to create a tool to sort the named CSS colors in a way that it shows related colors together. So, next time I can't decide between a few CSS colors, I can just check them here side by side.

I've created this tool last summer, but I hadn't shared it here back then. It's a PWA that I made with pure JS.

Very cool. Please add permalinks/history state, so we can share specific hue or colors. Thanks!

Looks like it's on Github, you could submit a pull request to add those things :)

I think giving feedback is a valid way to contribute, I certainly would welcome feedback if it were my project. Not all contributions must be code.

Normally I'd say "the feature request should still be made on GitHub even if it's not code" except for the fact that this is a Show HN which seems just as valid of a receiving area.

It's always the smiley face that takes a comment from idiosyncratic but potentially earnest to condescending and passive-aggressive.

Is that really how people are perceiving smiley faces nowadays? I make rather extensive use of smiley faces and smiling emoji and I would hate for them to be received in that manner, rather than what I intend, which is an authentic smile.

Some people will find malice whenever possible, even in smiling.

I read the comment as an attempt to redirect the person from begging to helping, in as nice a way as possible.

But if someone has a bone to pick with people who are rude about suggestions, they're going to read ill intent into the whole message, smiley or otherwise.

> Is that really how people are perceiving smiley faces nowadays?

No. In this case there’s nothing earnest about the smiley face, which is why it makes the comment seem rude. Just like a genuine smile is different to Dolores Umbridge’s smile.

is there a way to change the "hue tolerance" without hacking the source? or is that part of the design? :)

in other words: how can i just bunch more colors together?

Awesome! Could you possibly implement a double-click to clipboard copy option?

Happy to make a PR or just do it quickly!

Edit: here you go https://pastebin.com/5Kypr4kh

Edit 2: I would, but I'm at work so personal GH is a no-go atm. I'll cycle back here EOD & make the PR if OP agrees w/ proposal

Re:Show HN: Sorted CSS Colors – Sort the named CSS colors in... by knuptfad on Thursday March 18, 2021 @05:34PM (#26507808)
Thanks for the suggestion. Could be nice to have, but then there must be a visual feedback for the user. Issues/PRs are welcomed in the GH repo.
