Inspiration and What It Does
Originally we wanted to come up with a tool that could make webpages friendlier for color blind users by modifying colors. However, we came across an article that states, "it is not possible to predict what a color blind users sees with 100% accuracy" as there are different types of color blindness.
We took inspiration from some of the suggestions made by the article, and learned that clickable areas and texts on the web are often delineated by color which can create challenges to users with color deficiencies. Therefore we decided to create Link Liner to underline all clickable texts on a webpage to help color blind users locate clickable texts quickly.
How we built it
We built it with Google Chrome Extension MV3.
Challenges we ran into
Didn't what would be the best approach to make webpages more accessible to color blind users because we did not have much knowledge about it ourselves.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We did the project pretty quickly and learned some new things about color blindness.
What we learned
Learned how to use Google Chrome Extension, Learned some Javascript
What's next for Link Liner
Have more customize options for users to highlight links in the colors comfortable to their eyes, auto-enable option for all sites
