What a hero.

  Even the first google hit for "css3 gradient designer" seems to have more features, http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ Is this a joke?

And what does this mean? "Gradiator was made on Windows with proprietary software" ? It looks like it was made with Adobe AIR

  It almost seems like a troll to me. It was written in Python.

    Looking at the parent site CaffeinatedCo.de (http://caffeinatedco.de http://caffeinatedco.de), they're a new "web design and development company." Their portfolio is empty at the moment, but Pun-King (http://pun-king.com http://pun-king.com) seems to be their other website. It's basically just a list of puns with a submit feature. Not much to look at, although Gradiator looks somewhat useful.

      dude, they're high school students! Don't expect to see 20 sites and 12 apps on the site!

  Could it be that they're just being up front about using closed-source software for development (e.g. an IDE they paid for).

Very nice. All my mac-wielding colleageues at work have had access to nice gradient tools and as the sole ubuntu user I was missing something similar. Great work.

I'm quite confused. It's a CSS3 gradient generator for linux, yet the screenshot shows an image of an OS X app and the footer mentions it was developed on Windows. I can only then assume it's an Adobe AIR app, in which case why isn't it just a desktop CSS Gradient generator for all three platforms and why not also make it a standard website if it's just HTML and Javascript?

  It's written in JavaScript. As far as I'm aware Adobe dropped support for AIR on Linux. We're almost finished with the Mac version of Gradiator.

"Since our first computers were Dells and not Macs, Gradiator is free software." Umm what? This whole thing (osx screen shoot, the bit about being developed on windows, ...) smells like a jape to me.

You're all thinking too much!If you look at their site, they say they're high school students.

http://todo.inatorapp.com http://todo.inatorapp.com - also work by jonocooper. One chrome app (over 1000 users), one ubuntu app (mac version in dev), three websites (though not all finished), doesn't seem like a bad effort for a high school student.
