Cool website, might want to change the icon from the current lovable icon.

This is going on my daily puzzle list!

Awesome, thanks!

How did you manage to do the animations so nicely? What is the tech stack?

paulhebert · 2026-04-13T18:49:03 1776106143

The animations are all CSS animations. The tiles and grid are SVGs. No libraries or anything there. All vanilla, written by hand.

I’d like to write up some blog posts about this. Are there specific animations you’re interested in?

The overall tech stack is Vue and Nuxt. I just added user accounts and auth using Supabase.

The tile connection border animation is really cool, is it something special with clip path or something?

The main trick there is animating the stroke on a copy of the tile: https://css-tricks.com/svg-line-animation-works/

I also animate the size and color of the stroke and scale and translate the entire tile

I would also love to read about your puzzle creation process :)

It looks really good, what makes this different from uBar?

Already got indexed by Brave Search's AI: boringBar: A modern Dock replacement specifically for macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later that organizes windows by desktop, provides thumbnail previews, and includes unread notification badges. It requires a one-time $40 personal license after a 14-day free trial

Most likely that domain was already taken.

I made a similar tool that in my opinion is more useful for finding characters. I feel that the tool the OP posted seems cool for short periods of entertainment, but isn't very useful for utility. Link to the website here: https://unicode-atlas.vercel.app

yeah that’s a more utilitarian approach mine is more about exploring and navigating the unicode space visually

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

though going through every comment to promote it feels a bit… unnecessary

I agree, you did a great job on the design, especially the border around the grid, I really like it. Also, just checked out your homepage, it looks really, really good
