Tossed $30 on a CSS gradient generator that was basically a color picker in a trench coat

Found this tool that promised procedural noise patterns via gradients, paid the $30, and all it did was spit out two-color linear blends I could have coded in 5 seconds has anyone else fallen for these overhyped CSS utilities?

A $30 color picker in a trench coat, I get the frustration. But I actually think that kind of tool has a place. Not everyone who messes with CSS wants to code a gradient from scratch. Sometimes you just need a quick visual way to pick two colors and preview how they blend without typing out hex codes or percentages. The shady part is how they market procedural noise patterns when it's just a basic linear gradient. That's on them for overselling it. Still, I've bought way worse things for $30 and at least this one spat out working code I could copy paste.
