Wow, ANDI and the Accessible Colour Palette Builder are killer tools I didn't realize were out there. It's great to see the tools for creating accessible interfaces are becoming more and more friendly and usable themselves.

Flicks are a nice idea, but it's too bad they picked a word with the same first letter as "frame." As in "FPS," frames per second.

To make it easier for visual content creators to work with individual frames on screen, Facebook has created a new unit with which to measure time.

This is the first I've heard of this idea and it makes a lot of carbon-footprint sense:
