###Why: I always felt that there was a need for a site that allowed for people to just play with the way that colors moved and how they interacted when touching other colors. Sure, theres lots of color wheel sites out there but thats not what color lovers is about, its about just seeing tons of colors at once and basically swiping left or right. Its like tinder for color palletes and I aimed to replicate that experience. ###What I did: The last time I used javascript canvas technolgies was when RaphelJS was all the rage, I wanted to experiment and try new technologies and see what was new. After some googling and asking around I stumbled upon PaperJS . It has a great easy to use api and seemed like a great fit. I wanted my app to be fully interactive so I went with redux to handle the client interaction and the actual html display. After that it was simply a matter of just doing things on timeouts to match up with the browser running at 60fps. Just do everything in multiples of 16.67 ms.
In order to grab the actual palletes I wrote a little web scraper to pull them of the color lovers site.
