As a developer venturing into the realm of web development, I often found myself struggling with a crucial aspect of design—choosing the right colors for my websites. While there are numerous online tools that provide color palettes, I noticed a significant gap in the market when it came to seamlessly translating those palettes into full-fledged themes with instant previews.

## The Dilemma

Being more inclined towards coding than design, I faced the challenge of not just selecting colors but envisioning how they would harmonize across my entire website. Existing color palette tools offered me a set of colors, but they left me stranded in the vast landscape of design choices. I craved a solution that could not only present a palette but also give me a tangible preview of how it would transform my website's aesthetics.

## The Birth of Palettify

Driven by this need and my own struggles, I embarked on a mission to create a tool that caters specifically to developers like me. Thus, the Palettify project was born. The goal? To provide trending themes for websites along with a playground that offers an instant preview of the selected theme.

## What Sets Palettify Apart
