Looking forward to trying it out on the pattern library!

@fbmore Hmm, that's interesting. Would you like to be able to chain a pattern fill or to be able to apply a chained color on top of the pattern fill?

Do you support gradients?

@malling Not yet, mate, but it's definitely on my list. Gradients is an obvious case of use for colors and will definitely be supported soon.

Having the ability to do color modifications/operations dynamically can be really useful and is not a feature of any major design tool

Pros:

Created to make the design workflow easier.

Cons:

It needs better UI and a better way to manage Chains

Hello, everybody! Chain was inspired by SASS color functions (https://robots.thoughtbot.com/co...). There needed to be a way for designers to change complex color layouts without having to change each layer manually. I believe Chain will create a new interesting way to work with colors since I haven't seen anything like that. There's a lot to learn about how designers will implement this in their workflow, but I want to keep improving the plugin to make it much more intuitive. If you have any comments, I'll be happy to answer them!

Building beautiful UI is a big focus right now, we've migrated to Sketch and we're loving it, going to explore this more!
