About HexDay

I have no idea where to start, but here's a start.'

The idea is simple (maybe too simple). You can sign up an account (currently with as minimal info as possible) then once a day you pick a color.

That's it. One color per day.

The idea is that hopefully as more people use it the patterns created and the trends that form from day to day might make for some interesting graphics, color patterns and trends. Will herd mentality kick in and certain colors go through popularity spurts, will there be trends based on day of the week, month. Will global news impact colors, weather trends. Who knows.

Currently it's the bare minimum to get it running, I have some interesting things like OSX dashboard widgets in the works and js widgets that can be plugged into things like blogs or face-book pages to show a persons color picks for the last few days. I'm adding some additional color cross sell and color variations to the colors, and there is some enhanced color trend analytics in the pipeline as well. Just got to find some time for a real job and sleep.

I even had an idea over the weekend to wait until I have 2 or 3 months worth of data and print a book using an online service like lulu, imagine a years worth of the color picks 1 page per day, it would make a somewhat "interesting" coffee table book. No idea if that will become feasible, but things like that would be cool to try out.

If you have a suggestion, an issue with the site, or you just want to chat, feel free to drop me an email at admin AT hexday DOT COM
