Looks great! Really love the landing page! How long did the app take you to build?
Thank you! It took me about a month to build this from scratch. I am familiar with JavaScript so that helped me in picking up Swift quickly.
Hi, HN! Really excited to share my little project here. Being a colorblind designer, it was often hard for me to figure the color names and decide which colors to use. Hence, I decided to make this app. Cone lets you pick colors in real time using the phone's camera. It lets you build color palettes while on the run, capturing and recording color for later comment/discussion, sending the colors to someone else quickl…
For everyone who is wondering how he got the hex, and names, etc. there are links in the bottom of the coneapp.io page. Here are the links:

I like how you kept the site and dependencies simple. 34.7KB of js (~21 is mostly color definitions), and 4.2KB of css. Just FYI: 1. You could save ~15.75kb by minifying your JS/CSS (a bit nit-picky since your resources are a fraction of what most sites have) 2. The 1MB background image comes out to 570.6 KB through tinypng.com (47% off!). If lossless is more your thing, you could save about 5% by running it through…
