At 1Password, we applied agentic tooling to a multi-million-line Go monolith.

(No I'm not linking to it.) Ok first, how in the everloving fuck did you allow a password manager to reach multiple millions of lines??

(I assume they're not even counting the entire embedded copy of Chrome that lurks inside 1Password.)

And now they sloppified it, so more people are jumping ship.

Welp, I warned you about 1Password's self-immolation in 2023 and posted a migration guide. You're welcome.

Please note: If you have come here to recommend a different password manager, I implore you to not do that, as I just do not care. This is what I did. If something else works for you, good for you. Write it up on your own blog.

A while back I decided to stop using Tailwind for new projects and to just write vanilla CSS instead.

But one thing I missed about Tailwind was the colour palette (here as CSS). If I wanted a light blue I could just use blue-100 and if I didn’t like it maybe try blue-200 or blue-50. I’m not very good with colours so it makes a big difference to me to have a reasonable colour palette that somebody who is better at colour than me has thought about.

But I’m also a little tired of those Tailwind colours, so I asked on Mastodon today what other colour palettes were out there. And then a friend said they wanted links to those colour palettes, so here’s a blog post so my friend can see them, and all the rest of you too :)

my favourites

The ones I liked the most were:

• uchū (css file, FAQ)
• flexoki (css file)
• reasonable colours, which seems to have a focus on accessibility (css file)

more colour palettes

• web awesome
• radix
• US web design systems
• material design

colourscheme generators

Folks also linked to a bunch of colour palette generators

• harmonizer
• tints.dev
• coolors
• colorpalette.pro

I’ve always found these types of generators too hard to use but maybe one day I will get better enough at colour that I’m able to use a colour palette generator successfully so I’ll leave those links there anyway.

and more colour tools:

• colorhexa has some info about colorblindness

oklch

Generative colors with CSS gives an example of how to use the oklch CSS function to dynamically generate colors.

What if you could increase conversations — without collecting more data? You’ve probably been told you need to collect more data to get better results. But with smarter tools and better technology, privacy isn’t a tradeoff, it’s a feature. Anonym makes it possible to measure real performance without complex integrations — just drag and drop your data set. Let the results below speak for themselves.

Proof points

UEFA 

Take UEFA’s Men’s Club Competitions online store, for example. Ahead of the 2024 finals, they launched a campaign on TikTok to engage fans and drive sales, all without sending any personal user data with TikTok. By utilizing our privacy-first analytics solution used by TikTok, UEFA was able to measure meaningful results like conversion lift and sales impact using differentially private algorithms. The outcome: 93% lift in conversions and a 94% increase in sales, without exposing data to the advertising platform. They leveraged Anonym’s drag-and-drop interface, ensuring all data was correctly formatted and encrypted before sharing in Anonym’s trusted execution environment.

Zenjob

Zenjob, a flexible job platform in Germany, took a similar path. During a key hiring season, they ran a TikTok campaign focused on app installs and signups, but didn’t want to cut corners on user data. Like UEFA, they used Anonym to unlock insights into incrementality and attribution, encrypting the user level data and relying on Anonym’s privacy enhancing technologies. The results spoke for themselves: a 38% increase in signups and a significant improvement in conversion. All without exposing sharing user level information with TikTok.

The future of online advertising

These examples aren’t one-off wins, they’re proof that better performance is possible. With Anonym, advertisers get the insights they need to optimize creative, targeting, and spend to drive real results. You don’t need more data to get better outcomes — you need the right tools. If you’re ready to boost performance without the guesswork, our team is here to show you. Reach out for a deeper dive into our privacy preserving solutions.
