Flat UI Colors – Color palettes for use in projects, designs, presentations • Hacker News Board

What's going on with Adobe Kuler aka Adobe Color CC? Looks like they made it easier to grab the colors recently: https://color.adobe.com/explore/?filter=most-popular&time=mo...

It works easiest when you mouseover and click "Edit Copy" (second button)

Anyone remember Color Scheme Studio? https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15962/color-schemer-studio

What happened to them? I can't find an official website. I could imagine people still wanting to buy their software today.

I really dig a couple of those palettes, but that website might be the most infuriating thing I have seen in a while. Unnecessary slide transitions. Product Hunt begging. Interrupting the back button (edit: or maybe interrupting a slide to a palette? I don't know, both are bad) with a beg for me to sign up for their newsletter. An interstitial added after they already interrupted me with an email beg--this one, a tweet-this beg.

Just...none of this is good. Stop. You came up with really nice, really neat color palettes. But now you made me think you're jerks. Stooooop.

What's the license?

I'd expect it to be either public domain or uncopyrightable.

Hopefully that's the case.

The newsletter is actually triggered by heading to close button detection (there are scripts that detect fast movement towards the top of the page and display "wait a moment" popups), which I agree is one of the worst things that happen to the Web these days.

And that fancy transition (which I wouldn't mind actually) is even broken on Firefox - it ends sliding both in and out, and only then the page actually switches.
