Colorblind-Friendly Color Maps for R

Project mention: Scientific Colour Maps | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-15

I tend to think the continuous color palettes don't look very nice (no matter what the colors are) in various data visualizations. So I often prefer the color brewer discrete smaller sets, https://colorbrewer2.org/#type=sequential&scheme=BuGn&n=3
I use the viridis inferno on occasion as well, https://github.com/sjmgarnier/viridis, although sometimes it is too dark.

Image processing web-app for color blindness

Project mention: Web imageproc application with WASM (letpos, comparison with actix and rocket) | /r/rust | 2023-10-02

Some time ago, I tried to learn full-stack with rust and made a simple web application for color-blindness simulation with actix at https://github.com/carrascomj/dalted (also with rocket 0.5.0-rc.1 for comparison, at the rocket branch). Now I did the same with leptos for a fully client-side version and the result is quite satisfactory, although it cannot handle images as big as the server versions (I have been using this one to test). Ultimately, it is much less application code, since server and javascript stuff are avoided altogether.
