Stuff We Use & Love

Open-source design and prototyping that runs in the browser and plays nicely with developers. Our kind of tool: no lock-in, yours to self-host.

An open-source data platform that wraps any SQL database in a clean API and admin app. We reach for it when a project needs a real backend without building one from scratch.

An open-source CRM with the polish of the commercial tools and none of the lock-in. A strong choice when a client needs customer management they can actually own.

An open-source, self-hostable platform for deploying apps and databases, a Heroku or Vercel you run yourself. Our go-to when we want control over where things live.

Lightweight, privacy-friendly web analytics that don't need a cookie banner. Open-source and self-hostable, a clean alternative to the heavy trackers.

An open-source commerce platform you build on like a toolkit, not a template. The pick when a store needs custom logic a hosted cart can't handle.

Open-source workflow automation you self-host, wiring APIs and services together in a visual editor with room to drop into code when you need it. Our pick when a client wants automation they own instead of a per-task SaaS bill.

Fast palette generation and exploration. Good for getting unstuck and finding a starting direction.

Preview a palette on a real layout instantly, the best way to test color in context, not in swatches.

A palette explorer that restyles a whole sample page as you switch schemes, with every color labeled by its job: background, headline, button. The fastest way to see if a palette actually works in context.

A generator for building and refining palettes, with quick ways to test combinations before you commit. Good for getting to a usable direction without endless tweaking.

A simple, well-stocked board of ready-to-use palettes. Click to copy, no fuss. A quick starting point when you just need a direction.

A deep, searchable library of named color schemes with hex values ready to lift. Handy when you're hunting a specific mood or combination.

Paste any color and get a full ramp of tints and shades back, with a split view for holding two ramps against each other.

Machine-learning palette generation that previews schemes on a real layout instead of a row of swatches. A robust tool for palette discovery, whether the output is a website, a gradient, or an illustration.

Builds ramps along a curve rather than by linear interpolation, so every tone, tint, and shade step is a deliberate choice. The one to reach for when you need a scale, not a swatch.

Builds color scales in LCH with even perceptual lightness, which HSL cannot do: the same HSL lightness value looks nothing alike across two hues. Read Wildbit's argument alongside it before you commit a token scale.

Tones, shades, and tints, grouped so you can lift a whole scale rather than pick a single swatch out of context.

A picker that arrives with references and examples, so a palette comes with some sense of how to actually use it.

A dev-friendly color picker with hex, RGB, and HSL side by side, plus the conversion math written out if you need it.
