I built a palette generator for developers

Hi Indie Hackers 👋

I'm a frontend developer and I recently built a small tool called Dev Palette Generator.

The idea came from a simple problem: every time I start a new project or landing page, I end up wasting time tweaking colors to get a palette that actually works in a UI.

So I built a tool that generates balanced palettes and lets you preview them in a simple interface.

Current features:
• multiple palette types (random, complementary, triadic, analogous, monochromatic)
• accessibility contrast checks (WCAG)
• quick exports for developers (CSS variables, SCSS variables, Tailwind config, design tokens)
• palette sharing via link

Tech stack:
Next.js + Supabase, deployed on Vercel.

It's still early but fully functional and already generating palettes.

I'd love to hear feedback from other developers here — what feature would make a palette generator actually useful for you?
