it's a cool idea, but totally impractical.
I'm seriously starting to hate the design community for comments like yours. The snotty-ness of the comment section is simply unbearable. Do you guys do something else but throwing under the bus any single idea without zero reasoning?
i think you are extrapolating more from my comment than is actually there. it is definitely a cool idea, and more of an exercise in working with media queries than it is an actual useful tool to pick a color palette or find out what a hex value's color equals.
there are other color pickers out there that do a much better job than this for the actual task they mean to accomplish. this is a good portfolio piece, but not a good color picker.
Hey, relax. People are allowed to have opinions.
It is cool that it exists and someone took the time to make it, but it is a technical experiment at best. It isn't useful to pick colors as it stands now.
I'm using Google Chrome and this site is unresponsive to any input. It's just a red screen.
me too. Chrome on Mac
Me too. Same issue with Safari.
Just resize your browser window :-)
It only works under a certain (very small) browser size.
You need to resize your browser window to adjust the colors. I believe it's using media queries (hence the name "Qhuery") to adjust the hue and saturation.
There's a Github link on the bottom of the page for info.
I think he means the colors aren't changing when he resizes his browser. Issue that I have as well. Probably because there are 3600 God damn media queries in the CSS :))
Fun experiment which I assumed helped the creator to learn more about media queries and javascript. Good work.
Useless but pretty, looks like it was fun to make. Now if only you could copy the hexcode to clipboard when you resize
Works for me. (chrome on a 15" rMBP)
