Only if you apply for it, which I did, but I still haven't received a response from them three months later.

This wasn't what the experiment was about at all.

The app does way more than the built-in color picker.

The post explains the experiment clearly. I wanted confirmation and got it.

They rejected mine too for the exact same reason, despite press-to-talk being a legitimate accessibility issue.
I wrote about this here [1], and even called out some of the most common disabilities that clearly benefit from it.
They also don’t allow microphone access from keyboard extensions in iOS, which prevented me from shipping an iPhone target (that I really wanted for myself tbh).
It’s a shame and I can only assume they’re trying to protect their built-in dictation, which historically has been laughably bad.

Thank you! For the components, I use the Custom Elements Manifest Analyzer to get data from JSDoc comments and TypeScript. This populates properties, events, methods, slots, etc. All the examples and other pages are hand-made. Docs are generated with 11ty.

Thanks! I’ll look into this.

I launched Quiet UI this week:
It prioritizes accessibility, longevity, performance, and simplicity.
With the autoloader, one script tag loads components dynamically without downloading the entire library. (npm also available.)
Theming uses color-mix() and OKLAB to create uniform color palettes from a single CSS property. Adaptive palettes are used for dark mode.
All form controls are form-associated via ElementInternals and work with native validation APIs (required, pattern, etc.).
Dialogs, popovers, tooltips, etc. use Popover API for top-layer access without having to portal or hoist.
Some of the more fun components include: Joystick, Stamp, Mesh Gradient, Flip Card, Random Content, Intersection Observer, Typewriter, Lorem Ipsum, Slide Activator
The library is free for personal, educational, non-profit use. Commercial use requires a license.

I enjoy building components and exploring new concepts.
