      How accurate are the palettes? Would we need to calibrate our monitors or does the site do that for you?

        I doubt the site is able to calibrate to individual monitors, as there’s almost no way for it to know what you have.

          Gotcha. So not too accurate for uncalibrated monitors then. Thanks!

    If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org

    It’s free and open source, and it’s very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.

    It doesn’t display annoying ads.

      It always makes me sad that chess.com was the site that blew up. I always had to convince my friends to use lichess when I played back in school.

    www.5minute.games

    It’s a list of all the good word games, minigames and puzzles on the internet, and you can customize it to shortlist your favorites and even add new links. I go there every day to link to all my favorites.

    …oh, full disclosure: I built it. Though hopefully nobody minds, since there’s no ads or monetization whatsoever.

        Every step of the way has some new frustrating way to confound the user. I was laughing/crying halfway through the process because of how stupidly unfriendly the design was. Just brilliant. Whoever did this is an evil supergenius and/or heavily into BDSM.

    I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.

    I needed Unicode symbols for a story I’m working on. (I want to use them as “magic runes” so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard “runes” that are typically used.)

    Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It’s not exact so if there’s no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn’t considered but which worked nicely for my uses.

        Basically, except it’s indexed and searchable. Somewhere in those books, exists the phrase, “dharma curious updooted glitchington on lemmy” probably many times. But also “dharma curious hated glitchingtons post on lemmy” will also be there somewhere.

          Wait, it’s already there? I thought they were generating them currently?

          Also, it’s searchable? I didn’t notice that. Just hit random. Going to go check it again!

        Yeah sorta. It’s apparently an algorithm that can produce every possible page of text, given a number. So it contains a staggering amount of gibberish, plus every page of every book that’s ever been written, and many wildly incorrect, many vaguely correct and one exactly accurate description of the circumstances of your death.
