ToonTone
A small browser game for guessing cartoon colors.
About
ToonTone is a small browser game about guessing cartoon and anime character colors. Each round gives you a character prompt, and you adjust hue, saturation, and brightness until the color feels close to the target.
A normal game has five rounds and ends with a shareable score image. I played a recent round and got 7.4/10. Homer and SpongeBob were easy for me, but Naruto and Captain Hook pulled the score down.
The game is meant to be quick and casual rather than serious. It works in the browser, does not require an account, and includes free play, a daily challenge, a leaderboard, and a small color library for browsing character palettes.

she came up with the title director of miscellaneous um which completely changed my life... do not change a single thing we need to leverage this like put her in all the teams except for engineering and design um all the other teams put her in let her be the glue let her bring the thing that she can be the one that brings it all together
Create a "Director of Miscellaneous" role to leverage the people who connect silos
When specialists in marketing, ops, finance, and product can't talk to each other, the bottleneck isn't any one specialism — it's the absence of a connector. Invent a "Director of Miscellaneous" or "chief glue" role explicitly for someone whose strength is bridging vocabularies and surfacing the cross-team problem. Don't try to flatten them into a specialist box — their value is exactly that they don't fit one.
Someone offered me $75,000 for the app. And I almost took it. Then I found industry benchmarks showing what apps at my revenue level typically sell for — and I realised $75K was less than one times annual revenue. I said no. A year later I was glad I did.
Industry benchmarks gave confidence to decline a $75K acquisition offer — know where you stand
At the point of the offer, Shot Pattern was generating meaningful recurring revenue but Duffett had no frame for valuation. Finding acquisition multiple benchmarks (typical consumer subscription apps sell at 3-5x ARR) gave him the context to recognise $75K was far below market. This underscores why knowing your numbers — and knowing industry norms — is a prerequisite for high-stakes decisions, not just operational hygiene.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.

1Hey, I built ToonTone as a small browser game around color matching. The idea is simple: each round gives you a cartoon or anime character prompt, and you try to match the color with hue, saturatio
