I Built a Free Tailwind Color Palette Generator (From Image + HEX) π
As a frontend developer, one of the most repetitive tasks I faced was:
π Creating consistent color palettes for Tailwind CSS projects.
I used to:
Pick colors manually
Convert HEX to Tailwind values
Match shades one by one
Switch between multiple tools
It was slow and frustrating.
So I built something to fix this.
