Sorry, I must be missing something. Is this is a page full of gradient fills on egg shaped circles, infused with ads, with completely random names?

Make that random names with an apparent alt-right flavor. Yay for the internet.

Another http://uigradients.com/, but with some very, um, brogrammer-y naming decisions. I'm somewhat confused as to why this is on the front page.

Uh, I wouldn’t say the names have a political alignment. They’re just a bit sardonic?

Cynicism doesn’t have an agenda, but some agendas are cynical.

Or is that how it works now? You have to think only happy thoughts, or someone polarizes your agenda for you?

Thanks. It was the most time-consuming part of the project.

“Obama’s resignation”...?

Resignation obviously can mean resigned to, eg

"having accepted something unpleasant that one cannot do anything about"

because I learned to do egg shape in CSS. Ironically, I add all as SVG so that it's easier on CMS.

Like them a lot. A button to make the background #333 would be nice.

Many thanks, I will add that feature as soon as possible.

Number nine is "Homeless Man's Joy". That's a great look for our community.

Most of the gradients are slight variations of magenta and turquoise.

All the websites go for that now. I see a lot of hipstery designer stuff with that look. Vaporwave / aesthetic whatever. It's all magenta and turquoise.

So dull.

Your names for the color combos are worse than urban decay eyeshadows.
