Shue

I finally got around to releasing a tool I wrote a while back (git says I started it in November 2015).

It's called Shue and you can find it on github.

If you dig back in the commit history, you'll see that Shue was originally intended as a tool for converting rgb colour values into their nearest equivalent bash colour codes.

Shue doesn't do that now as I haven't really needed anything that does it since that one time :) I might bring back that functionality at some point but for now, here's what Shue does do:

• Converts colour representations between various rgb formats: 6-digit hex (e.g. #ff9900), 3-digit hex (e.g. #f90), and CSS-style RGB values (e.g. rgb(255, 153, 0).
• Perform a few basic operations on colours before converting to the various representations:
  • Invert
  • Darken
  • Lighten

I wrote this at the time because I was fiddling with a few websites and frequently needed the above functionality.

It's written in Go and there are binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows on the releases page.

Let me know if you find it useful.
