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.

It's on the front page because someone posted it to HN, and HN users decided it was interesting enough to vote it up.

You should add a search bar at the top that will filter based on similar colors.

I usually know in general what color scheme I want when building something, but need to search online to find the exact colors that look good.

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

Ugh, yeah. There's a whole bunch of names that are incredibly shitty. Fuck this site.

The webflow ads have piqued my interest. A lot of nice little projects are shown on Show HN but I don't know if I've ever seen any to feature any sort of sponsorship right off the bat. Pretty clever to throw that in there. Do you have any lessons learned to share about the process behind it? (If it came from an easy personal connection just to show proof of concept, that's cool too!)

Thanks for the feedback. In fact, they affiliate links. I put it to try the Egg-ads concept.

You could do a nice follow up hn blog post about the results of this experiment! Would get significant traction I imagine.

The eggs are oddly appealing!

I've seen variations on this dead-simple concept so many times I made my own two months ago:

Which one is more? Homeless people or empty houses? I do not want to turn this into a sociological debate, but the color names include political jokes.

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?

Vote-rigging, perhaps?
