Cool stuff. Simple to use. Would be even better if you could enter your own colours though.

Thanks for the feedback! Custom colors and a few other little features will be added shortly.
Stefano Giometti, almost 3 years ago Really cool, bookmarked right away :) As Nicholas Hendrickx was saying, add custom colors and the possibility to rotate the gradient, and it will be gold.
Thanks for the feedback! :)

Super nice. Totally thought the icon with the arrows pointing in opposite directions was supposed to reverse the colors. Maybe the button should be a blender icon :)
Great feedback, thanks!

Hmm, nope, definitely not a feature. Can you provide a little bit more info? Browser/Browser version, is JS disabled, mobile/desktop?

Just looked on my machine with the same setup and everything seems to be working fine. Will look into it though. Thanks for the feedback!
Cecil Lancaster, almost 3 years ago Well I seem to be the only one with issues so it's very likely only on my end. I'm at the office too, so there could be some filters in place on the network.

Ooh yeah, this is cool. As others have said, I also thought the refresh button would actually rotate the gradient. It would be cool if you could rotate it, with arbitrary angles. maybe instead of the refresh icon, you could use an edit icon?
Definitely going to be looking into including all of these suggestions very soon!

Really nice tool Colin!
A couple of small critiques:
- Slightly confusing that the main center button has drastically different functionality but only changes it's icon.
- Switching editing modes using the refresh button also not quite as intuitive. Maybe "close" or "restart"?
Otherwise a super dope project! Post again when you add the new features.
Will definitely be updating this soon! Everyone has offered some great feedback here so far and I plan to get these changes included asap!

To help QA, I'm still seeing a lot of banding.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) - OS X 10.11 (15A284) - Safari Version 9.0 (11601.1.56)
Thank you for this! Keep the QA coming!

What a great tool!
Ben Thuss, almost 3 years ago Very cool, as others have said I expected the "Refresh" button to rotate the gradient. Would love to see that feature along with custom gradient angles and custom color codes.
