Honestly, I started this project about 5 years ago, and it sat in an extremely old and unfinished state for many years. I found the project again on an old SSD and felt a bit of 'nostalgia' for that time in my life, so I decided to finish it for both fun, and to provide a free alternative to other "unnamed" other color palette generators.
The app originally was written in Svelte 3 and was mostly using JS and SCSS. While I love SCSS, I wanted to try out UnoCSS.
Original version (2021) of the app:
Fully re-written for Svelte 5 and using the TS conventions I follow nowadays. Hope this project is useful to someone!
