Pick palette - one stop solution for palette hunt
summary
Pickpalette is a small SaaS color hub with 3,700+ colors and ~40–50 active users that scrapes daily palettes via GitHub Actions cron jobs and serves the palette hub from a hosted Google Sheet used as a lightweight CDN. The frontend uses edge functions and an optimistic UX built with Zustand + TanStack Query, supports image-to-color extraction (no ML), and survived a catastrophic bug that wiped ~1,000 records. Roadmap includes AI-assisted suggestions, Figma integration, and moving to Next.js server-driven UI.
