Amazing! Love the pixel art mode and being able pan and zoom around in 3D. It’s like exploring a world of colors and fun little art pieces and references, like C-3PO’s red arm.

Why would I pay you when I could slop out my own colour site? These kinds of things only worked in the age of things being hard. We don’t need to buy pixels anymore.

If you read the text on the support/ donation page you might discover why. I collected and invented these names over the past 10 years. There is a github history to back that. As well as a public API etc… so as the text sais it would be a symbolic gesture to help to pay for the infrastructure. And it is more effective than adding a donation button everywhere, since I already collected more than the over the previous 10 years

AI can steal from your github and call it research!

theres way too much animation. I wanted to be able to click and see some of the names but the spacemountain zoom in and out was so annoying I left this comment instead

I agree. After tapping a color, the name appears for a split second before being hidden so it can start the animations, and you have to wait for the close button to animate in too. Super fun concept, and I don’t mind waiting for info to load, but having to wait with every color tap even to see the info that’s already loaded is a bit much.
