A lot of these palettes are ripped straight from colourlovers

  If you would read the footer, you would read that I am using the ColourLovers API! I would not rip this off. But ColourLovers is too messy for me.

    > If you would read the footer You can't, the "Twittern" (you made a typo) button is covering it. I don't understand the point of Pltts. The top 20 colours are just ColourLovers top 20 colours. Why not browse ColourLovers that has the exact same stuff, plus much MUCH more?

  If you want download options (AI, SVG, etc.) and the other ColourLovers features you can copy the palette ID from the URL http://pltts.me/palettes/92095 http://pltts.me/palettes/92095 and drop it into the ColourLovers URL http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/92095 http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/92095 Edit: I do feel like a link to the CL page on palettes would be nice, but I certainly (think) I understand why it isn't there.

    I don't say much more than: Look at the footer!

Not trying to criticize but your logo looks similar to Buffer: http://bufferapp.com http://bufferapp.com

  Uhm, this was not my intention. My intention was to put several layers on top of each other as colors. But because this couldn't be colored, I chose white.

I really like this. Thanks! For some reason I'm fascinated by palettes (I never use them for anything though) and simple pages like this is nice because it's easy to save them. (I never remember them otherwise) edit this may not be the right place for feedback, but I see no e-mail and won't bother with twitter: The "Starred x times" text does not update when I press random. Also, in Chrome it seems that the star button works but it has no feedback at all which seems buggy. Also I can't understand the rightmost column since the box at the top is totally empty which also looks like a bug to me. Otherwise, great service!

  Thank you for the feedback, working on a fix!

Here's some feedback: 1. Your logo is extremely similar to Buffer. Buffer won't sue you b/c Joel's a nice guy (on Twitter at least), but Buffer has a huge amount of traction, to the point where I thought your logo was a link to buffer. That's not good, so do everyone a favor and change it. 2. Pltts might not be the best domain. It took me awhile to realize it was Pltts, not Pitts. The brain can be funny about pattern matching sometimes. In this case I don't think it helps your cause. Otherwise, pretty cool! I bookmarked it.
