Show HN: Brollly – Generate color palettes and font pairs with one keystroke

4 points| mantcz | 11 months ago |brollly.com

I built Brollly (https://brollly.com) to solve a common problem I faced as a developer: creating decent-looking web projects without spending hours on design decisions.

What it does: - Generates harmonious color combinations (brand, secondary, accent) - Suggests font pairings (headings and body text) - Shows everything in your actual content's context - One keystroke (Space bar) to generate new combinations

Technical details: - Color combinations based on color theory algorithms - Standard export options (JSON, SVG) - Works with 100+ Google Fonts and web safe fonts - Lock/unlock mechanism to preserve choices you like while exploring others

The key differentiator is seeing how everything works together in your actual context, letting you go from blank canvas to professional design in minutes instead of hours.

It is work in progress, but I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on the generation algorithm and UX.

This is really useful I often find I want to spin through different designs and I was wanting something like this for my own projects. Have you thought about being able to go back to previous designs? Would also like to Shadcn components in the mockup too. Really cool. Thanks!

Yes, going back to previous designs is defo on my list of things to add later on :-)
