Ctrl+FLASH

Easily find text with FLASHING control+f highlighting.

What it does

Replaces standard Ctrl+F with a disco-mode pulsating search. You hit Ctrl+F. You type a word. You squint at the screen trying to find that one tiny yellow highlight hidden in a sea of text. We fixed that. 🔍 ⌨️ Supports case-sensitivity as well as keyboard up/down arrows. 🚨 Control the flash! Choose from 3 flash speeds. 🔒 Ctrl+FLASH runs entirely on your device. We don't track your searches, we don't read your history, and we don't send data to servers. Period.

    This is a small project i made years ago and updated to whisper last year, i still use it from time to time and thought it might be useful to others, or just put the idea out there for someone better than me to make a better implementation!

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
