I am a typographer first and foremost, and I can’t stand to have straight quotation marks ("") in my writing — straight quotes are for the muggles! There is no excuse to use them other than in code, in which I do use them and admit they are useful. For everything else, use curly quotes (“” ‘’)! I am a sneakerhead but don’t own a pair of off-white x Nike sneakers for that very reason — having "AIR" in double straight quotes printed on my shoes and wearing them in broad daylight? I don’t know who I would be anymore. Typing out curly quotes is no easy task — in Windows, it is holding down the ALT key and then typing out 0 1 4 7, which I know by heart at this point. Judging by the length, they are more like “longcuts.” As an average human, there are only so many silly longcuts I can remember. I need to search for “ellipsis” every time I need to add a proper … instead of three periods in my text; it is getting increasingly infuriating. So I made Symbols to Copy! Symbols to Copy is a weekend project hacking around NoCode tools. It is built with Notion and Cloudflare workers. It does simple tasks: - Search for the symbol in the database - Click to copy that symbol to your clipboard - If you need other format of the symbol, like Unicode (U+2026), HTML Code (&# 8230;), CSS Code (\2026), or HTML Entity (…), click into the detail view to find them The chances are that you don’t need it today, but you will need it one day — bookmark it, or remember it is called “Symbols to Copy”! Hope you enjoy this little tool Symbols to Copy, or rather, §ymbols to ©opy! If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know! Yours, wentin
