Constructive Criticism Welcome I made a simulator for planned pooling when knitting with variegated yarn

I made a simulator for planning the pooling. I made this app to learn how to build a web app. It is still in beta, so many things to improve.

https://athifm.github.io/planned_pooling/

The work flow is,

  1. Measure each color lengths, and transitions of the yarn

  2. If you know what your stitch gauge is, and how much yarn each stitch consumes, then it's straightforward to visualize.

  3. There is a calibration mode, which you can use to knit test swatches to figure these numbers automatically if you don't (this is the most useful part for me)

4.There are options to add different stitch types and row patterns as well.

Please give me feedback if you get to take a look!

It looks like an upgraded version of Planned Pooling website
