#ff362f — Public Fediverse posts

@xero nice code!

I see you're actually calculating things rather than rendering them with a browser (see nf.color2hex in nofus.js, which I use mostly for userscripts). I assume your way is significantly faster.

Given your goal of minification, do you want red to gain a byte with #f00? I see transparent maps to rgba(0,0,0,0) but it could be #0000.

Idea for you: a configurable maximum distance (default=0) per color channel to permit rounding, e.g. 4 means #ff362f becomes #f33 since 0x33 is within 4 of both 0x36 and 0x2f.

(I suppose it'd be better to use the sum of differences or some more sophisticated combination, perhaps keyed to a percent, but that's a dangerous rabbithole of researching color perception (e g. OKLCH). Determining a sane thresholding system and ideal values won't be easy.)
