Special symbol copy tool

Hi HN, I built a small tool to make it easier to find and copy special characters, symbols, and text decorations—things like arrows, math symbols, stars, or aesthetic unicode styles (ℯ ). The idea came from frequently searching for the same symbols (like →, , or ) when writing documentation or blog posts. Most existing tools either had too many distractions or weren’t very fast to use. This tool is: • Focused on speed and minimal UI • Fully client-side (no tracking or login) • Grouped by type (arrows, currency, emoji-like, etc.) • Mobile-friendly You can check it out here:…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks.

Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
