Glyphfinder: The missing character search for designers, devs & writers

Scalar

Hi PH! 👋 I’m a developer, designer and writer and looking for the correct characters has always been a mess. The macOS character view is okay, but I still ended up googling the correct unicode characters. That’s why we made Glyphfinder. To make it the best glyph search out there we manually tagged 34.000 characters. You can search for words, categories, look-alikes or even colors – you can’t do it wrong. We put together a few good examples on the site. Aaand it’s available for macOS *and* Windows, how cool is that? 🤓 Let me know what you think! Hans

@hanspagel Congrats on the launch! This looks really good! Curious to know are both native apps or Electron?

@iamtekeste it’s Vue.js & Electron and we use a native library to read out the keyboard layout to show the correct keyboard shortcuts for characters ❤️

@hanspagel Awesome! I just bought it! If you are accepting feature requests, I was expecting clicking on a glyph to copy it to the clipboard. My favorite part is the look alike search! ❤️

Great app. I like the design! Would be nice to have the option to display it in the macOS menu bar instead of letting it sit in the dock all the time.
