How did we come up with this idea?

We saw that Google created a great tool, but we couldn't find any of the buttons that we were looking for in Google Custom Button Gallery. We started creating our own buttons but then we had no place to share them with the web.
So we created this site so everyone can have a place to store and share their custom buttons.. One thing led to another and here we are.
