@phreaknerd @hgbruenker mit der Logik kann man auch grüne Wähler sagen, wählt Volt und linke, oder was auch noch, ihr seid schuld wenn sie nicht über 5%kommen

@aaribaud yeah, isn't it interesting? So on the one hand, colors have a kind of objective neurological basis, if you can call it that. On the other, every color system influences how you perceive color. So if artists call a color warm or cold, you just might say no.

So I did mean synaesthesia, yes. But how to describe color to blind ppl? I dunno, maybe not at all. Of course it is valid to make a poem out of associations and reactions but you should tell them it's not actually what colors are like. I.e. blue can also feel warm or water can be green. Then they get confused, but anyway.

I guess you could also name many things that commonly have certain colors in certain light situations. This way they wouldn't understand the color, but they could maybe use this knowledge, i.e. for painting.

@aaribaud @wholesomememes I every word is cultural, fair point. but its meanings are mostly not derived from associations like "feels warm" etc. So, cultural yes, associations not so much

@wholesomememes it's cultural associations that are being described here, not the colors. For example, water is neither blue nor cool but we visualize it this way. People who start painting without much practice start giving water a blue color, leaves green etc. The result is awful. I assume blind ppl learning to paint good paintings learn color in a different way

@kleines_z just stumbled upon Habitica.com so maybe I don't have to program anything. Let's check it out!

So, how hard is it to create a little Android app? I just want to define "daily goals", the user can click on every goal stating they have reached the goal today, and a counter then counts predefined XP for the day.

Also, a description of the goals and a history of the recent days + XP reached every day should be included. Nothing much more, really. No fancy graphics needed.

Where would I start without programming skills? What about this thing called Apache cordova? How much time would I need to spend? Also, I want to avoid Google.
