Hi everyone — I'm Roman, the maker behind Colir.
A bit of philosophy behind it:
Not every tool needs to be the star of your workflow. Colir is the one that's quietly there for when the built-in gradient picker isn't cutting it. Simple to pick up, smooth learning curve, and the kind of results that feel effortless. Think of it like a good hammer — nothing flashy, does its job well, and you'll still be reaching for it years from now.
I built it after years of brand and motion work where every gradient tool I tried gave me the same flat linear stops. So I made the one I actually wanted to use.
Would love your feedback — both on the tool itself and anything you'd want added. Happy to answer questions in the thread.

As a fellow maker currently building in the Ai Image space, I’m wondering if we could use this as a tool to give our customers a little more control over their templates. How easily does it plug into other work flows? We've built in Mind Studio but are also going 'headless'
Very cool - love products like this that don't try to do too much but nail simple functionality. Clicked the link and played around with it for half an hour without even realizing
Now this is a pretty interesting and unique product! It's kinda refreshing in this day and age of sloppy content to see a nice & well thought tool to create interesting visual elements and this is something I would definitely buy!
But it's probably where my issue lies: I would love to buy a downloadable version of this product even if I have to pay 100$ (so more than the annual fee) to use as a local app but I don't see myself paying a subscription to generate gradients, no matter how interesting it is, as I could do this with Illustrator in some ways.
I think you have a very interesting tool, but I'm not sure you got the appropriate business model. I know everyone want to have their monthly revenue and therefore go for the subscription model, but it's not appropriate for all businesses, and some products are better suited for one-time purchase with yearly updates that you can pay for if you choose to (Xnapper is a real good example of this and got my purchase immediately).
I wish you the best, and if you decide to offer an alternative way of purchasing your product for local usage without requiring subscription, you already got a customer for that!
All the best buddy 🙌
I tried the app and it's really cool. For the future - how will it handle animations? What export options will you support?
I do not think that there are so many solutions like this. So it is even more unique :)
