@darius@friend.camp the problem with the default color input element is that imolementations vary a LOT in quality by browser OS (for ex, Firefox on Android just gives me a selection of about ten colors to pick from, no other options). I wanna say some of the implementations have a11y issues, too.
(that said I am pro-removing-JS-bloat where possible)
@darius@friend.camp yeah, I saw that and promptly bookmarked it for possible use on Dreamwidth - we're using color picker JS that's at least fifteen years old ahahaha.
@cocoa right. That's why I said "many" cases. Someone linked a 2.7kb library that seems to make things more consistent at least!
