I built this after getting frustrated with AI constantly butchering my designs when trying to make them interactive.
The problem: You have a beautiful static design, ask AI to make it interactive, and it "recreates" everything from scratch - usually making it look terrible.
Chromacode solves this by:
- Dividing any image into a structured grid
- Extracting hex colors from each zone
- Creating interactive overlays that preserve the original aesthetic
- Zero AI interpretation - just mathematical mapping
Works with any image, any complexity. The visual integrity stays pixel-perfect while you add functionality.
Started this project trying to make a 3D interactive version of my Trello board. Ended up creating what I think is a new approach to visual-first development.
Demo and full implementation are in the repo. Would love feedback from the HN community!
