Hey awesome devs! 👋 As a side-project, I created this app to seamlessly browse color palettes for your account! If that's not your thing, you can also enter a username and scrape their profile to identify which colors they use.

But why?

From a user point-of-view, I feel the color pickers in the profile settings aren't as intuitive as they can be (not all of us are gifted in color theory 😕). However if you have available hex values then good for you!

From a developer point-of-view, this is a part of my journey in learning Python. The frontend was fairly easily done with VueJS, but on the backend side I got to learn about web scraping with BeautifulSoup4. As a bonus, I also learned how to deploy images in Google Cloud Run 🌈!

Code available here.

Shoutout to Michael from yo@dev.to for responding and pointing me to the right direction when using the DEV logo! 👌
