Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I built GradientGen because I wanted a simpler, faster way to create those beautiful, organic mesh backgrounds that are trending everywhere. I felt that existing tools were either too bloated or didn't give enough control over the color count.
Currently, you can generate animated meshes using anywhere from 2 to 6 colors. I’m focusing on making the experience as "zen" as possible: land on the page, hit the spacebar, find a palette you love, and grab the CSS code. No sign-ups, no friction.
I’m already working on adding more geometric and topographic styles soon! I’d love to hear your feedback on the current mesh generator and what you'd like to see next. Happy designing! 🎨
