Hyu-Sync, my fun side project
Source: Dev.to
Where it started
This project started because I wanted to create a colour wheel using canvas. After I got that working, I decided to build a colour picker that could convert colours into three different formats: Hex, HSL, and RGB.
Alongside that, I wanted a colour history feature to track colours I’d used before, since I was relying on different websites to store colours, look them up, check accessibility, and create palettes. So I decided to build one site that brought all of that together and made the whole process easier.

Performance and Accessibility
I want this site to be accessible to everyone, so I’m continuing to improve its performance, such as avoiding re‑rendering the colour picker on load. I’m also continuing to learn more about accessibility so I can make it as user‑friendly as possible.
