I got tired of sketchy online color pickers, so I built a 100% client-side one (with a sticky UI for huge screenshots) 🎨

As a frontend dev, I constantly need to grab exact HEX or RGB codes from design mockups, inspiration images, or competitor screenshots. But every time I Google "online color picker", I run into the same three massive headaches: Privacy nightmare: I am forced to upload unreleased UI designs or screenshots containing sensitive data to some random server. Terrible UX for large images: When I drop a massive full-page scrolling screenshot into these tools, the image takes up the whole screen. I click a pixel, and then I have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page just to copy the hex code. It's infuriating. Blurry crops: If I want to crop an icon from the screenshot, the tool usually crops the CSS-scaled preview, resulting in a blurry, pixelated mess. The Solution 🛠️ I decided to stop complaining and just build my own "scratch your own itch" tool. I wanted something that felt like a native desktop app but lived in the browser.
