I’ve released an update for Discretion today. You can now create Genmoji face masks on iOS devices with Apple Intelligence support. There’s also a Feature Roadmap which allows you to vote for your favorite proposed features.

I've used Bulma in the past and my big concern was that their default color scheme often lack sufficient contrast -- this is a big Web Accessibility no-no.

Tools like this can be helpful:

Good resource.
Yes, I was unhappy with the default colors. So I added some extra CSS to make the colours more "Apple" like.

Bulma: Free, open source, and modern CSS framework based on Flexbox Bulma is a free, open source CSS framework based on Flexbox and built with Sass. It's 100% responsive, fully modular, and available for free.

The app webpage uses the Bulma CSS framework with a few tweaks. Using Bulma made it easier for me to create a static page that worked in both Dark and Light modes and was responsive to different screen sizes. #BuildInPublic
