Gradient Forge
Build the tool designers actually use: pick colors, tune the angle, copy the exact CSS.
🟢 EasyDifficulty
1-2 hoursTime
JavaScript, TypeScriptLanguages
What you're building
A live gradient editor: pick two or three colors and an angle, watch a big preview panel update instantly, and click one button to copy the exact <code>background</code> CSS to your clipboard, ready to paste into any project. It's small in scope but genuinely useful — you'll probably keep using this one yourself.
