@yellingisland@laurendw As soon as my partner is able to get his information (he's at work currently), he's more than happy to share the information he has.
If you bounce around the thread (into other QT's and such), others have found the information. It seems tricky to find, but it's there.
So I've been kvetching at my partner about the #RavelryAccessibility issues on @ravelry. When I brought up the eyestrain and migraine issues (including mine), he stared at me for a second.
"That's 'white emission shifting' where colors shift rapidly across the screen (3x/sec)."
@cefryber @sparklej Well, I'm pretty sure your phone refreshes faster than the phase shift. There might be a correlation between 4K and older screens? (My partner's at work, otherwise, I'd go bug him.)
@linnifred Again, I'm still trying to understand all of this; I'm not a programmer or a web designer or a coder, just someone with a partner who has experience.
Does that help your understanding?
@linnifred By "CSS: the programming part" I meant something akin to the rails trains run on. It dictates the basic bare-bones of a website (the route a train can take).
There's some confusion between design and function, this is the function portion, not the design portion.
@Peridragon Okay, I may have misspoken there, I'm not an expert in the field and I may have misunderstood his point and not conveyed it right. (Twitter char limit doesn't help!)
I was under the impression that the development of code was owned by specific companies.
@sofiaflevin@TaniaRichter@ravelry It's worth noting too that the color shift is coming from conflicting information from the code. One part is saying "show A", the other is saying "show b". They're flip-flopping rapid-fire.
@sofiaflevin@TaniaRichter@ravelry Since the newest updates, not all browsers are on the same page. Chrome's one that's been having color issues and "forced flags". Webpage code overrides browser filter.
@cefryber So the screenshot thing:
Screenshots capture images "midphase"; aka the moment the colors shift.
We manage to capture both "all the light" and "none of the light" in the image at the same time. It's a complex pixel difference and our eyes aren't able to detect it.
@yellingisland@laurendw Make sure you're differentiating between design CSS and code CSS; there's been a number of confusions there between the two.
My partner's a Microsoft Certified Web Developer, it was part of his recert work.
@Peridragon My partner is a Microsoft Certified Web Developer; he just went through his recert in January. It was part of the materials he went through. He also spoke to 30 different web developers and coders who looked at what he was suggesting and confirmed it.
@sofiaflevin@TaniaRichter@ravelry Okay, my phrasing may have been incorrect. If It is, I apologize. I'm trying to translate tech-speak.
They're using an old version of the layout CSS, on a new framework CSS.
One's saying "I know A," the other says "I know B", but they're not talking properly. That's the issue.
@wipinsanity @C_majuscula @ktb38 @cefryber Yeah, it's a bones issue, it's not the design part. I think someone said it best: You can put a sleeve on a broken arm, but it doesn't fix the break. (I can't remember who, I'm sorry!)
@sparklerawk @disaster_march Yeah, it's actually turned out to be a vernacular issue; you're not the only one that has come across this! I wish there were a more clear way to distinguish the two CSS's.
