Show HN: vim.ink – A vim color scheme designer built with React

I would suggest offering some existing/known color schemes to make modifications to and the ability to share custom color schemes.

Thanks for the suggestions! I added them to GitHub Issues.

Very well done. The UI is lacking a bit of contrast, though, especially the "light" variant.

alexanderteinum 11 years ago | |

Thank you. (I love Coltrane’s music by the way.)

Are you referring to the default color scheme UI or the web app UI? Or both?

johncoltrane 11 years ago | | |

The web app's UI. I think the colors themselves would be OK with a regular font but the current one is so thin that it's barely visible. You should advertise your tool to other vim-leaning communities, like r/vim on reddit.

It's very neat.

Thanks for clarifying. I understand that it‘s a bit on the light side, and I will at the very least consider changing it to something more visible.

Ah, Reddit. Of course. Will do. ;)

Thanks!

I liked it. But a little description on top as to what it is will be great :)

Cool, thanks!

Although it might be less visible than having the description to the right of the heading, there is a description in the initial file that is shown. I want to keep the UI as uncluttered as possible, so I think I’ll keep it like this.
