Layout breaks at smaller window sizes and on Safari; controls overlap the image
From 3 comments
Unfortunately if the window height is much less than about 900px, or if I zoom in, the controls overlap the gradient-wrapper (and some of the image).
pekim on HNLook like it doesn't work on Safari (or at least Safari Version 13.0 (15608.1.37) on Catalina). The buttons are below the viewport and I can't scroll to them. It worked fine in…

Color picker and play area are not connected
From 2 comments

jmiskovic on HNIt's really a good point. The graphic now can't really reflects how well do the colors go together. Apart from graphics, I am thinking maybe adding some sample UI/charts too...…

Make it a Chrome dev tools plug-in
From 2 comments
Interesting idea @longsangstan--I played around with it for a while and liked how the colors would change on reload or palette click. I often muck around with colors using the…
ac4tw on HNActually at the beginning I was thinking whether to make a webapp or a chrome extension... A chrome extension is more suitable as a dev tool while a webapp is more easily…

Add a license to the repository
From 2 comments
What does it mean when a public github project has no LICENSE file? Am I only legally allowed to view* the source code, but can't download and run it locally? Or can I run it…
Arkdy on HNDidn't think about that haha. Will add a MIT license later. Thanks!
