The post discusses the author's decade-long fascination with designing color pickers, with a focus on the unique challenges and learning experiences they offer. It compares modern square color pickers to the traditional triangle color wheel, highlighting the benefits of the latter in terms of shade distribution and ease of use.

I'm looking for a rebound project, can you be it?

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

<p>I was once highly discontent with <strong>all</strong> the color pickers out there so I’ve created my own:</p>
<p><a href="https://yaireo.github.io/color-picker" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://yaireo.github.io/color-picker</a></p>
<h3>Top reasons where:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Most out there are too bloated in terms of code weight</li>
<li>I wanted the most minimal design which doesn’t occupy too much screen space</li>
<li>I wanted it to support mouse wheel for fine-tuning the sliders</li>
<li>To have localstorage memory of picked colors</li>
<li>Support multitude of interchangeable color formats</li>
</ul>


<p>colour pickers were the notetaking hype of its time.</p>
