At work today I removed the `react-color` color picker widget library from our web app, which is 130kb of JS minified! You know what you can use instead of this in many cases?

It's a thing!

@darius i've never had occasion to need this, but it *is* cool.

@darius Everything about React is awful.

@darius@friend.camp the problem with the default color input element is that imolementations vary a LOT in quality by browser OS (for ex, Firefox on Android just gives me a selection of about ten colors to pick from, no other options). I wanna say some of the implementations have a11y issues, too.

(that said I am pro-removing-JS-bloat where possible)

@darius Last time I tried it you couldn’t paste colors into it.

@darius We could possibly improve this situation by empowering the community to educate new developers. I tried something: https://github.com/casesandberg/react-color/issues/882
