Summary

Analyze keywords

What is it like to be visually impaired? As a well-sighted person you'll likely never fully get to understand that. But SEE helps you imagine what it’s like.

For example, you could see what your website looks like for a colour blind person. Which might convince you to change the contrast in your design.

SEE is a product by Q42, created by Johan Huijkman and Marcel Duin. If you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts you can reach us at:

User reviews

Add css inline transform:matrix even if turned off !! Be careful

Pierre Albert, 2020-01-07

Creates a bug if it is active (even if not using one of the filters) where Material UI TextFields are prevented from properly floating the text label. When a Password Utility is used to autofill a login form the floating label doesn't move up to become a label, instead the autofilled text overlaps the placeholder text. This bug happens repeatedly with this extension active, but when switched off the problem is solved.

还是很有用的，希望设计师们从一开始就能考虑到自己的作品在其他人眼中会是如何呈现？
