Just shipped tryswatch.com
Started as a tool to lock in colour palettes for design systems and turned into its own project. I wanted something easy to fine-tune, with WCAG AA contrast checking built in and clean export to PNG, SVG, CSS, Tailwind, JSON and .ase.
Would love some feedback :)

brand personality angle is genuinely interesting. 'trustworthy vs playful' is a curation layer sitting on top of the theory engine, and a couple of people have now nudged me toward beefing up explore in exactly that direction. not niched on purpose yet (it's free, built for my own work), but if i did, founders shipping saas landing pages is probably the first pick

good question, and you're the right person to ask, because if a non designer doesn't get it instantly that's my problem to fix.
you bring one colour (say your brand blue), swatch builds a full palette around it with proper colour theory, checks every pairing passes WCAG so nothing's unreadable, and exports straight to tailwind, css or json. landing page flow: brand colour in, four matching colours out, copy the config, done.

Hey thanks so much for the feedback! Those are great ideas! I'm currently working on remixing the existing palettes in the tool so they're essentially good starting points
Shipped my first iOS App! App store review process was pretty quick -- but got rejected on first go around because I accidentally said I had parental controls .. when I do not.
