i must say the name, the website, the app's UI all look pretty neat. you seem more of a designer than a developer, may I ask you, what's your expertise?
Thank you! I am an interaction designer but I picked up development (frontend on web) early on and have been doing both since.

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…
If you're willing to go lossy, also look at PNGQuant - https://pngquant.org/ I've started using it on all of my web images. I've yet to see the loss on a couple dozen images, but the size drops by up to 66%, even after being run through imageoptim.

#117Looks great! Really love the landing page! How long did the app take you to build?

Tethered the iPhone to a Mac and used Quicktime to capture/record the device input (New Movie Recording then change the camera input to the iPhone), export as MOV (720p).
This is a serious pro tip. I didn't know this was possible. Thank you!

Why is that copyrighted? Now that work is a literary work and no one can use the code till Disney gets permanence on their copyrights. There are so many better licenses.

#120It's been a while since I updated it, but it still works aside from the occasional Core Data crash because I didn't know any better back then: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/colormyworld-color-picker-an...
