Colorgram

Colorgram Branding

Colorgram is tiny app I built over a weekend to fix a particular itch of mine.

Story

The Itch

Instagram for the longest time did not have a way to fill a "story" slide with a solid color. I wanted to do this on my personal Instagram to make stories more engaging because hey! FUN!

The App

All Colorgram does is allows the user to create a color using RGB sliders and save the resulting color has a JPG to the phone. The user can then go to Instagram and use the created image as the background for their story update!

Repo Structure

The repo has three branches: master, legacy and gh-pages.

  • master has the updated codebase written in Kotlin with all the tools the cool kids are using these days. This was again a weekend project I did to learn things.
  • legacy is the old codebase in Java with all sorts of terrible coding practices
  • gh-pages houses the landing page for the website because of course I'm extra af :)

Postmortem

Soooooo, Instagram started supporting this feature natively a couple of months after I released this app. Aaaand with that, my dreams of becomnig a rockstart indie-developer died. RIP.
