Very cool concept and execution, well done.

I don't quite understand what is going on with the "spotlight" UI concept - I can click around on the characters and it highlights an area and it also reloads the landscape local to the character that I clicked on, so I can sort of traverse the similarity landscape this way. But I feel like I might be missing some part of the visual metaphor?

anyone know how this works? i assume just rasterizing and embedding?

Very impressive that I can sketch a character in the top-left and get a close match. That's a real highlight showing that there's more going on under the hood than a big look-up table.

"Everything runs in your browser."

That's cool. The sound effects seem like natural thinking sounds. :)

Several models to compare.

I like the animation work and sound, it really gamifies the experience. I question the usefulness though. But it could make a fun game experience if it were to let people match by colour or align emojis related to each other.

Cool but maybe consider a different name? If I want to recommend this tool in a few weeks' time there is approximately 0% chance I'm remembering it's called something like "Charcuterie", despite the clever bit of wordplay.

I'm not dyslexic, but this is what I imagine dyslexic hell is.

Ouch, my back button

> visual similarity

> SigLIP 2

Maybe visual-semantic similarity is more appropriate? Nonetheless the design is fantastic

This is cool but the characters are awful small on my iPhone 14 Pro. Decent bit of wasted space too. Why are the characters in the previous history list (on the “rim” so much bigger than the characters I’m actively exploring?

Love this. I hope it works with Japanese kanji too, because sometimes I forget the exact character but remember a similar one.

The name sounds really bad in French. Charcuterie is a pig butchering shop, usually associated with messy bloody stuff. The verb “charcuter” also refers to surgery done poorly.

But yeah I guess the pun makes it work in english

This is impressive! Thanks for sharing.

This is quite remarkable. Great work.

WOW! What a lovely way to explore the character map.

Sounds delicious!

WOW. JUST WOW ‼

Very cool concept and execution.

Reminds me of early 2000's web design with Flash websites. Those were good times.

Anyone else think of the film 'Hangar 18'; specifically the alien language they find on the UFO?

Love the name, very clever

This tastes delicious. The sound is perfectly restrained and animation is intentional. I wish more apps were as playful as this.
