Color blindness emulator

[raunofreiberg]

Storybook has an accessibility addon that features a color blindness emulator:

I was thinking if we should maybe have something similar. We would have to add some kind of action menu to switch between different modes or configure them via props. It might be useful, but I'm not sure if this is in the scope of axe-mode

@chancestrickland wdyt?

I do like it, but might it increase the scope of the project a bit for an initial feature? Personally I'd rather nail the core behavior related to axe first as a matter of priorities. Totally see huge value here though!

[raunofreiberg]

Yeah. I also feel like this increases the scope too much for the initial release.

Also, this got me thinking if axe-mode should be specifically tied to the axe name, or more generally to accessibility instead? Especially with features like this, which do not directly come from axe.

Food for thought?

Yeah, it'd be nice to experiment with other tools and see about making them pluggable. Personally I think axe is the best tool of its kind and others will have too many potential false positives, so I don't hate being tied to axe. Deque is a team I trust to keep it solid for the long haul (Disclosure: the lead dev on axe core is a friend of mine here in San Diego, but that's my opinion no less).
