Open/Libre Office and their UX are too complicated for normal users like most Linux apps that are modeled after professional desktop applications.

Considering the amount of hardware that's out there and never will work on newer operating systems having a easy to install and use OS for web productivity tasks will very likely be a big driver for overall market share.

I don't know how much licensing would cost, but Framework could possibly offer a driver for the internal card as an addon. Then the slot could be used for a small headphone amp which would be more third party friendly I think.

You can compare monochromatic scales between various color space interpolations and order them by contrast (great for accessibility work). Lab is from the 70s, the newest one there is CIECAM2 from the 2000s, also looking most natural to my eyes.

RYB is more culturally relevant because artists and designers "produce" culture based on it.

Let's say you develop a luxury theme, the yellow - purple opponency would naturally lead you to the classic colors of royality, purple and gold.

A good RYB based picker is the good old Paletton: https://paletton.com/

NL queries return poor results if the content creator didn't create it with searchers in mind. Most of these sites also often have a very poor UX.

There's of course a larger incentive to optimize for popular stuff, especially when there's commercial intent (or implied commercial intent by the absence of informational intent).

Bad search results can be opportunities, and many new bloggers focus on this right now which is why they often appear first in search results before the actual experts.

But it would only take experts to improve their content to outrank them because expertise and trust are also ranking factors right behind UX, and if you have both you win. Expertise alone just isn't enough.

Here's a up to date PDF from Google explaining search intent:

I think the main reason why they're hard to beat is the first mover advantage of becoming the first popular networks of their kind.

This advantage creates multi-sided markets. There are strong incentives for businesses to build on top of those platforms enabled by reaching a critical mass of users, this advantage is converting networks into a self promotional flywheels pulling in more and more users.

It gets addictive because businesses usually know their audience and journey they're on and create content incentivizing them to take the next step in that journey.

Of course it's addicitve for users if you can anticipate their next step, and for businesses if they have all those micro targeting options just a click away. The easy way wins.

Vernacular/unprofessional web design is search engine driven these days – using what's in reach. Basically searching for "create a website" and using one of the guides and tools popping up in the search results.

There are some neat static site generator plugins out there (simplystatic, wp2static) which can be used in localwp, an easy to use and popular local dev environment from wpengine.

People could start with a static site for free/cheap, deployed from their local env to Render, and then move to docker when their sites and dynamic needs grow. This could make it a lot easier for peeps building their audience with blogs and digital products before they get into SaaS.
