Meshup: my first shipped app
I built Meshup because I could never find a mesh gradient tool with real depth of control that didn't come with a price tag, so I made the one I actually wanted: full color and position control, grain and texture, palette randomization, color extraction from images, and clean PNG/SVG export.
It's free, and it will stay free.
This is my first app ever, and I'm sharing it here because I'd genuinely value feedback from other independent designers and builders. What works, what's missing, and what you'd want next.
Try it: https://nomidesigns.com/meshup/
Vibe coding your way to color extraction from images plus clean SVG export is a lot of scope for a first shipped app. What was the one feature that ended up taking way longer than you expected?
A self-initiated exploration of how AI-driven visuals can expand the range of beauty assets available to a brand, starting from clean studio-style references and pushing them into more editorial, surreal territory while keeping product and character consistency across the full set.
Workflow:
Base images built in Flora using a node-based setup. One node for the master composition, additional nodes for scale variants, detailcrops, and the studio-reference version. Character, makeup and lighting kept consistent across the set through the same reference chain. Final color, retouch and finishing in the Adobe suite.
Personal project, not affiliated with the brand.
Love the output!
