CLI support for Color Thief!

I just shipped Color Thief v3. Biggest update for the project by far. Complete rewrite. New API. New site. My fave features: observe() for live video palette extraction, OKLCH perceptual quantization, and rich Color objects for hex, HSL, & WCAG contrast out of the box.

Worked on something alongside @openlibrary, a digital bookshelf generator. It was a fun one!

@IamIronLAN People saying “this is shady” should be saying “this is not for me”.

We have to talk about this YTber. Been a big MKBHD fan for over a decade now. The attention to detail, quality and general fairness of his reviews and optimism for tech are reasons I liked him. Increasingly though it feels like he’s going through some version of Kara Swisher-fication — where his abject hatred at tech/SV keeps popping up. @radbackwards and team built a super thoughtful take at what really should be sci-fi tech with a smart GTM strategy to be able to ship intermediates. In all communication so far they have been upfront and honest about the current limitations. SO FAR the product imo is solid at its price — you get privacy preserving teleoperated house help for $500 a month. The actual implementation is where we actually get to know how good it is or where it falls short. No point of this judgement beforehand.

@vanlancker @untitleddotnew Link please. Thanks!

In addition to @untitleddotnew, I wrote a comprehensive “how-to” guide that covers the art and act of naming. With this process, you can name anything in an afternoon. It is incredibly thorough but can be moved through efficiently. How to Name Anything in an Afternoon

@realvjy Reminds me of my project, Color Stacks: lokeshdhakar.com/projects/color… Mine has a multi-color focus with a full design system in mind. Love the aesthetics of your UI ‒ awesome job!

Created this lil color generator over the weekend. There are so many algorithms to choose from for generating beautiful color palettes. Also, You can get the output as CSS, JSON, or Tailwind tokens. Check it out with sound on :)

@blims No big updates planned at the moment. In maintenance mode. Sorry about that. But I do take a look every 6-months and eval big upgrades. So it'll be another couple months, but possibly then.

@lokesh Hi. Great work with the color-thief package. Any chance of ever modernizing it to be able to be easily imported and used with TypesScript / Angular 19? :) Thanks!

@vaunblu Love these! What are you using to record the videos?
