Products that do what Logo tip - I used unicode characters for our logo. does
Hi, I'm learning to keep things simple. I'm on startup no. 2 and have just put up a sign-up and twitter page. For the twitter page I needed a profile pic or logo of some sort so I've hacked together a little logo using unicode characters. Have a look: https://twitter.com/#!/TheSuperOwl I think it looks quite cute, it's a temporary thing until we get a designer on board. The 2 founders are not designers (product person & developer) so we don't want this to hold us back with getting things going. It's quite fun - I think we can play around with the unicode characters in the meantime. For…

I’m building a Unicode reference where each symbol has its own dev-friendly page with all relevant encodings. Example: [https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to](https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to) Includes Unicode, HTML, CSS, JS, UTF-8/16 bytes, URL encoding, and usage examples. The same structure is used across thousands of symbols (math, arrows, currency, tech/UI, punctuation). Built because existing references are fragmented. Feedback welcome.

Last night I had a stupid idea, and wanted to check if it is technically possible. Well, it is! In a nutshell: Emoji support for your website's URLs. yourwebsite.com/contact - booring yourwebsite.com/:phoneemoji: - cool! So I wrote a nodejs middleware that offers emoji support for your API, with 2 lines of code. (well if you count the installation 3 lines) Here's the project: https://www.npmjs.com/package/slashemoji I currently have support for the /contact and /about routes. Can you give me some ideas of what other URLs to cover, and what emojis to…

Hi HN, Unicode “cursive” and script-style fonts are widely used on social platforms, but many of them silently break depending on where they’re pasted — some render as tofu, some get filtered, and others display inconsistently across platforms. I built a small web tool that explores this problem from a compatibility-first angle: Instead of just converting text into cursive Unicode characters, the tool: • Generates multiple cursive / script variants based on Unicode blocks • Evaluates how safe each variant is across major platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, etc.) • Explains why…

Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…

I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a…

Hi, I wanted to share with You our project (https://comparere.io). We have built a website for comparing graphics and designs. The concept is simple, you have to just drag'n drop two designs you are having trouble to pick from. The idea has emarged when we stumbled across many different facebook groups for graphic designers, where they used to sometimes ask the community for help to decide which design is better. I had similar problem too. Hopefully this tool will help graphic/ux designers build/create projects that will appeal to more audiences. We are looking forward to…

I recently quit my job at a decent TTS company I was working for as a software developer advocate to pursue what I have always enjoyed doing, which is creating software that is helpful. Before and after quitting my job, I have always found it expensive and time-consuming to hire a designer that can come up with a decent logo for my software, and as a software engineer, I really enjoy coding, not designing. One day, I made a pretty bold move to design a logo, and it took me a whole day to come up with a logo that looks nice. This is the reason I built Owl AI, a logo generator that generates…
