I wanted a way to explore Unicode by visual similarity, not just by name or codepoint, so I built Charcutrie. It lets you browse characters that look alike, search across scripts and symbols, and even sketch a shape to find matching glyphs. (pretty badly for now :D)

what if you could navigate unicode characters by visual similarity?

you can now edit all your ramps at once. (and export them as SVG, CSS or as Tailwind Config)

After testing 100s of imgs comparing tiny and big changes to the algo: I am now confident to present to you: The new OKpalette. Powerful as before, ~40% faster, better at detecting good presets and better rare color detection! Test it and let me know what you think!

Seriously, how much time can one possibly spend tweaking a pair of range sliders?! 🎛️

using the browser cmd & - to see all the swatches works well!

Made a tiny color lib: nutelch 🌰 It sits between OKLCh and OkHSL. You dial chroma as a fraction of the way to the gamut cusp (so "saturation" means the same thing at every L & H, never out of gamut), but the result is still a plain oklch() color. Inspired by Matt DesLauriers's work

Finally made a small lib that helps me implement how I think about design tokens. Try Design Book →

HSL & HSV are great, but they can make designs look too rainbowy if hue, saturation, and value aren't balanced. So I built a library that morphs the color gamut to your liking—almost impossible to make ugly colors! It has presets inspired by historical color theorists. Stay tuned
