Am I just too stupid to see the grander idea of this app or why does it get so much attention and top position on HN? It's just a color picker on camera images or what did I miss? It's very well done I agree but still seems remarkably trivial. Why all the fuzz?
- catoc 9y agoIsn't it largely just luck? This was posted a few weeks ago, and went nowhere. Now posted again it reaches the top because a few people upvote it early on. It will also float down again pretty quickly. Trivial but fun - a few minutes of fame - well deserved
- bbcbasic 9y agoYup it's luck
- bartonm 9y agoCompared online equivalents 'Snap It' that help color identification which require taking a picture and uploading to their site. This is really helpful in identifying colors on the go. The simplicity of this app is where it sings. It's easily monetized by connecting app to paint suppliers like Sherwin Williams, Home Depot, or Lowes.
