This is a simple Electron app that lets you search for characters, by name, by character, or by code point, and see useful information about them.
Most of the code is, of course, not Electron-specific, and it will also build a CLI version which I think is much more useful.
You will need make(1), a C pre-processer, wget
, node
and npm
installed.
If you are on Linux then you will need rpm
even if you're not using Redhat,
because of a bug in Electron.
To install Electron and all its jibber-jabber:
- make deps
To build it:
- make build
then look in the out
directory for your platform's favourite
flavour of executable.
Or you can make dev
to run it in dev mode.
To clear out auto-generated files and built artifacts, make clean
.
If you are on a Mac and have a $HOME/bin
then you can:
- make install
Patches and bug reports are most welcome. Please raise them on Github. Feature requests are far more likely to be implemented by you than by me.
I would especially welcome help with the following:
- Making it pretty
- CI stuff to build releases for all platforms
