Jeff LangeSince it doesn’t seem to exist, I want to make a tool that will show color contrast for text in images. It would: 1. Take an image (or pdf?) as input 2. Detect where the text is 3. Determine the color of the text (per character) 4. Determine the color of the background just outside the text 5. Calculate the color contrast between the two colors 6. Overlay warnings where the contrast is too lowAnyone have ideas for the first few steps? I have the math solved for step 5. <a href="https://toot.io/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://toot.io/tags/wcag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wcag</a>

Florian<a href="https://toot.cafe/@dotproto" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dotproto</a> This is EXTREMELY broad. Extensions are generally just pieces of web content either on their own or added to the page the extension operates on so I guess the most global answer I can give is the best extensions are extensions that are, just like webpages, <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessible</a>. Ones that follow <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/WCAG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WCAG</a> standards and ones that have been tested with the target audiences that are (going to be) using them
