Show HN: Egg Gradients – Gradient color inspirations
- flamtap 9y agoI'd love if I could filter this by target color(s), and see a subset that approximate that selection. Being able to select "red to orange" or "blue to green" would be great! Even some approximation of hex codes would be cool too.
- serhadiletir 9y agoThanks for the feedback. I am working extensively on the filter feature. Like this https://www.eggradients.com/category/red-orange-gradients https://www.eggradients.com/category/red-orange-gradients I will add it to the interface as soon as possible.
- flamtap 9y agoThat's exactly what I was talking about. Nice work!
- jefozabuss 9y agoYou mean eggsactly :)
- serhadiletir 9y agowelcome aboard https://prnt.sc/ixey41 https://prnt.sc/ixey41
- fluxsauce 9y agoThose are... unique names.
- serhadiletir 9y agoThanks. It was the most time-consuming part of the project.
- singularity2001 9y ago… and you should get an award for them! however there are two 'bugs': Blank Printer Fat Cat
- hycaria 9y agoAre they generated ?
- Tade0 9y agoTime well spent indeed.
- pimlottc 9y ago“Obama’s resignation”...?
- adventured 9y agoResignation obviously can mean resigned to, eg "having accepted something unpleasant that one cannot do anything about"
- serhadiletir 9y ago:)
- pimlottc 9y agoCertainly, but I don't think that's the first interpretation of the word people think of when it's associated with the President.

- akmittal 9y agoIt would be great if there was a button to set gradient as background for preview.
- serhadiletir 9y agoYou're the second person to suggest this great idea. I got a note first when I heard it. I'm going to apply now. I have to :)
- eudoxus 9y agoI second this. Came here to comment the same thing and figured I'd check if someone already had. Love the website, exceptionally clean and well designed.
- besasam 9y agoThose names are really something. Love it.
- serhadiletir 9y agoIf the name comes to mind, please share it.

- jypepin 9y agonice project, love it! The copy in the hero is full of typos/english mistakes, FYI :)
- serhadiletir 9y agoThank you for the warning. My English learning process is still going on. Somehow. I think it's time to buy Grammarly premium. :)
- raymondgh 9y agoThe webflow ads have piqued my interest. A lot of nice little projects are shown on Show HN but I don't know if I've ever seen any to feature any sort of sponsorship right off the bat. Pretty clever to throw that in there. Do you have any lessons learned to share about the process behind it? (If it came from an easy personal connection just to show proof of concept, that's cool too!)
- serhadiletir 9y agoThanks for the feedback. In fact, they affiliate links. I put it to try the Egg-ads concept.
- pmx 9y agoI really love how well it blends in with the rest of the content. I noticed it right away but it's not distracting enough to be annoying. Nice work!
- csallen 9y agoI also like the ads, nice job. Some tips: You should increase the surface area of your <a> tags in the ads. Ideally they would cover the whole card and the egg, too. Also, consider adding a hover effect and a "pointer" cursor. I was trying to click your ads and I couldn't figure out how to!
- QuelqueChose 9y agoAgreed that I was very confused in not seeing a pointer cursor on hovering _anywhere_ on the Ad card... any way this could have been made as a conscious decision to minimize the whole impression of the page being too invasive with its ads?
- serhadiletir 9y agoI added hover over shadow animation and working on adding External Link fon icon from fontawesome.com https://fontawesome.com/icons/external-link-alt?style=solid https://fontawesome.com/icons/external-link-alt?style=solid Thanks for the feedback.
- gitgud 9y agoCouldn't read them all, but I'm curious if there's a name referencing the company Stripe? ... These gradients always remind me of their website
- serhadiletir 9y agoactually does not exist. But it can be added. How about "Stripe Transaction" Not funny enough. I will think a little. Do you have a suggestion?
- AWebOfBrown 9y ago"Stripe copied us"
- bringtheaction 9y ago“Stripes and no stars” in reference to Stars and Stripes? Nah, “no stars” sounds negative. “Stars and Stripe checkout”?
- adventured 9y agoAPI is nowhere to be found in the names. So... Stripe's API It was one of the things that made them.
- fouc 9y agoThe alias cursor on the text seems a bit strange. Especially since clicking doesn't do anything.
- serhadiletir 9y agoFixed.
- boffinism 9y agoThis website on my mobile browser is the most visually pleasing experience I've had today. Bravo.
- tofflos 9y agoI see plectrums! ;-)
- narag 9y agoVery nice! Instantly made me think of that receptionist girl in Total Recall, Schwarzenegger version. Edit, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in7QyUBV6Fk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in7QyUBV6Fk
- phelm 9y agoNice page, Seems very similar to https://webgradients.com https://webgradients.com
- serg_chernata 9y agoI would say a little too similar.
- prikshit 9y agothey are really nice.
- have_faith 9y agoLike them a lot. A button to make the background #333 would be nice.
- serhadiletir 9y agoMany thanks, I will add that feature as soon as possible.
- ben174 9y agoSorry, I must be missing something. Is this is a page full of gradient fills on egg shaped circles, infused with ads, with completely random names?
- baking 9y agoMake that random names with an apparent alt-right flavor. Yay for the internet.
- spacewarp 9y agoUh, I wouldn’t say the names have a political alignment. They’re just a bit sardonic? Cynicism doesn’t have an agenda, but some agendas are cynical. Or is that how it works now? You have to think only happy thoughts, or someone polarizes your agenda for you?
- kolpa 9y agoVote-rigging, perhaps?
- serhadiletir 9y agofunny
- maximp 9y agoThis is cool! One of the top comments on Indiehackers (if I remember correctly) was to click on an egg to change the background color - I'm gonna echo that here. Love the "remember to bookmark" label!
- qrohlf 9y agoAnother http://uigradients.com/ http://uigradients.com/, but with some very, um, brogrammer-y naming decisions. I'm somewhat confused as to why this is on the front page.
- stronglikedan 9y agoIt's on the front page because someone posted it to HN, and HN users decided it was interesting enough to vote it up.
- qrohlf 9y agoI suppose I deserved that. What I should have said, is that I'm a little disheartened that this is getting the attention that I would prefer go to a site like uigradients with better UX and a less divisive tone.
- grzm 9y agoThe solution to that is submit, upvote, and comment substantially on better articles and flag those you think are inappropriate. On balance, things should work out and improve. Help make HN the place you want it to be :)
- stronglikedan 9y agoI have noticed that, as HN becomes more popular, the "variety" of submissions making it to the top has definitely widened since my lurking years. I just chalk it up to a more diverse audience as time goes on. I'm not sure much can be done when the content is (for the most part) user curated.
- jwilk 9y agoWhy the egg shape?
- serhadiletir 9y agobecause I learned to do egg shape in CSS. Ironically, I add all as SVG so that it's easier on CMS.
- jasonmp85 9y agoNumber nine is "Homeless Man's Joy". That's a great look for our community.
- OskarS 9y agoUgh, yeah. There's a whole bunch of names that are incredibly shitty. Fuck this site.
- serhadiletir 9y agohahah thanks
- serhadiletir 9y agoWhich one is more? Homeless people or empty houses? I do not want to turn this into a sociological debate, but the color names include political jokes.
- koprfq 9y agoMost of the gradients are slight variations of magenta and turquoise. All the websites go for that now. I see a lot of hipstery designer stuff with that look. Vaporwave / aesthetic whatever. It's all magenta and turquoise. So dull. Your names for the color combos are worse than urban decay eyeshadows.
- john_borkowski 9y agoYou should add a search bar at the top that will filter based on similar colors. I usually know in general what color scheme I want when building something, but need to search online to find the exact colors that look good.
- serhadiletir 9y agoThanks for the feedback. I'm currently working on filter like https://www.eggradients.com/category/purple-gradients https://www.eggradients.com/category/purple-gradients I will add the homepage soon
- rajacombinator 9y agoThe eggs are oddly appealing!
- fenwick67 9y agoI've seen variations on this dead-simple concept so many times I made my own two months ago: https://codepen.io/fenwick/pen/YYdXXb https://codepen.io/fenwick/pen/YYdXXb
- clusmore 9y agoIs there any easy way to share an egg? I showed this to my colleagues at work and was trying to share a particular egg, but couldn't spot anything clickable for this. Inspecting the HTML, it doesn't look like any of the eggs have ids on them that could be used as anchors.
