Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Implement bulletproof data persistence with cloud backup

Data loss is the #1 complaint (20% of reviews) and destroys user trust. Automatic cloud sync would differentiate from competitors and enable cross-device usage.

Build color wheel UI with automatic harmony generation (complementary, triadic, split-complementary)

Explicitly requested feature missing from all competitors. Designers expect color theory tools as standard - this is table stakes for the category.

Create folder/tagging system for palette organization with search

17% of users mention lack of organization. Power users accumulate dozens of palettes and need management tools - this drives retention and paid conversions.

Design simple, guided onboarding with dismissible tutorials

27% report UI confusion. Clear initial workflow (Import Photo → Extract Colors → Create Harmony → Export) would reduce abandonment and support requests.

Add multiple export formats (PNG, SVG, CSS, Procreate, Adobe) with gallery save

Users want to use palettes across workflows. Export flexibility removes friction and integrates into existing design processes, increasing daily usage.
