kanji-search's Issues

Set up CI

Set up CI to check formatting, typecheck, etc...

Set up Github Pages as an Action to deploy to a branch

That will clean up the repo a bit.

Run without service worker

Currently this app doesn't work if there is no service worker support, like in Firefox private tabs or through unsecure HTTP. This may also be related to #10.

Icons

Make custom icons to use instead of the current placeholder.

Alternative fonts

Some kanji are very different or less clear when in handwriting. Provide alternative fonts like this one to assist this use case.

Safari/iOS/Mac support

It seems that this application doesn't work on Safari. I only checked it on Safari and Chrome on iOS, but I think this is because of limitations of Safari. I do not currently have either a Mac or an iOS device to actually test this properly.

Show components of kanji

Some kanji have very unclear components. Provide a way to see which components a kanji has so that you can better search for it another time.

Change license

Use the GNU AGPL instead.

Exclude components

Add a way to exclude components from search.

Stream results

When choosing a kanji component like "一" there is a delay before the results appearing, especially in mobile. This is because the entire search is done before any rendering.

Implementing streaming, where result list is rendered partially while the search is going on, will solve this. The focus should be on filling the viewable space in the result list as fast as possible.

SPDX in source files

Use SPDX-License-Identifier in source files instead of license text.
