Show HN: I made a site that lets everyone edit the same gradient in real-time

Am I allowed to use this as party lighting by putting it on a 60 inch TV in my living room?

I'll allow it this time.

Excellent "screen saver" type of display. Also good for showing where the dirtiest part of my monitor is. Which is a big area. It's a 43" 4K LG :D

Haha thanks. Probably looks great on bigger displays.

Is it a LG C2/C3? Are you enjoying it as a computer display?

It's a 43SQ700S. And yes. If it were ever so slightly curved it would be more amazing. But it's a great display.

Adding a new color/point updates the gradient for everyone on the site. Top right is a counter of how many unique gradients have been created. Site stops updating at 32-bit unsigned integer limit of unique gradients. Pretty useless site. Made in an afternoon w/JS, Go, & Redis.

Nah. Looks like you had fun, thought of something, built, and shipped it. And thats great.

Cheers

Thanks. Yeah, always fun to learn something and apply it in a new way.

Nearing 1'000'000... I was there to see it, for a few milliseconds

I don't suggest anyone to open in it firefox. Hangs up the tab immediately.

Should work now.

It doesn't work for me on a iOS safari. Is this excepted?

It shows changes by other users but you cannot add a color yourself.

Should work. There are lots of users on right now, so your color might disappear as soon as you click. It works a lot better on larger screens.

Love this! Most of the visual code I have come across is geometric so this is a nice change of pace.

Appreciate it!

The gradients shown are "pretty". I've done some minor experiments generating gradients before and usually arrive at generated colors approaching a muddy brown or a beige grey. Did you take any steps to avoid this?

Inspired by million checkboxes ?
