mattauson Show HN: PaletteList – Generate 10k color palettes after picking 2 colors

Hello Matt here, a friend of mine and myself built this website to make it easy for developers and designers to find colors for your projects. It's built with React and Ruby on Rails, hosted on Heroku. You can download palettes in CSS, Sass, and SVG.

mattauson Aloha Followers – Find out more what languages your Twitter followers speak

Hi all, lots of English speaking Twitter users believe that English is widely spoken around the world… and on Twitter. Surprising fact: only a little over 30% of tweets are in English! So I've built Aloha Followers. It scans a few thousands of your followers in real-time and extract their languages. It’s there to show you how diverse the language map is even for your Twitter account. And for businesses, it could mean that they should tweet in other languages to get their followers more engaged!

Enjoy and let me know if you encounter any issue with it.
