The color palette gives me a headache. Other than that, this is a very good treasure chest of tools. 👑

@dredurr What else should I do for the color scheme? I don't want it to be all one color. Maybe I should pick a half dozen or dozen nice colors and repeat them? Or make one color per broad category, like green for "revenue" then categories like Sales and Payment Solutions could be green? What does everyone think about the color issue?

@vacord @dredurr I like the idea of having a different colour per broad category of tools. So blue for anything finance-related, orange for marketing etc. You've got quite a lot of tool categories on there, so it'd definitely help to be able to quickly see at a glance the type of tool.

@vacord @dredurr Seconding the colour palette thing. In particular what makes me really shiver is the combination of teal, with green & blue options. Blue/Green/Teal combinations have been locked by the ancients in underground vaults for a good reason. White-on-Light color like in the "Forms" and "Networking" buttons are also a no no.
I would suggest, how about having a light (very very light, almost white) grey background, and then the per category colour Adam mentioned.
In addition, if you make more general category colours, then there is no harm making the text labels a bit bigger.

@kupeplex @dredurr Yeah totally. I'm gonna work on it. My inboxes are kinda blown up with tool suggestions via the site though at the moment

@vacord @dredurr It might be better to use icons to represent each category instead of different colors.
