In my last blog post, I talked about starting a new venture called Trebevo, which is slowly taking shape. Alongside this project, I've been keeping myself busy with other activities that complement my skills, particularly in design tools development.
This led me to create an app called "Colors of the Day" At first glance, this app might seem simple, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. It introduces two new colors every day, challenging users to explore and use them creatively. These colors are based on six different types of color harmony, ensuring that each pair of colors works well together.

The idea for this app was inspired by my love for the Pantone Color of the Year, something I've always been a huge fan of. However, I wanted to add my own twist and introduce a challenge to make it more engaging. I chose a less-known hashtag on Instagram for users to post their work, encouraging them to compete and share their creativity with others.
As someone who has worked as a designer full time, I often found myself stuck when it came to choosing color combinations. Now, with this app, you can pick any date from the past and turn it into a fun activity. Whether it's your birthday or a day that holds special meaning, each date offers a different set of colors to play with.
Working on this project has been incredibly fulfilling for me, and I'm excited to keep improving it. My coding skills were quite basic when I started, but I've learned so much through this process. I used every tool available to me, from open-source projects to AI coding assistants, to make my vision a reality. I hope others find this app useful and enjoyable. It's my aim to continue developing tools like this that can inspire and assist creative individuals.
