Update v4

Below is the full dev log for changes between versions 3 and 4. A lot has happened, check it out 🙂

Functional & Major Changes

Compare mode

• Tick “Compare” for 2 to 4 furs (on cards or in the popup) and open a side-by-side table with every detail.
• “Show only differences” hides the rows that match, and you can copy a link to share the comparison.

Palette upgrades

• Share your palette with “Copy link” or “Share”. The link opens on a palette page that works on any device, with an “Add to my palette” button.
• “Add to palette” is now in the popup, so furs found through Similar Colors work too.
• In a multi-color fur’s popup, click one wedge to add only that color.
• Each palette color’s name links to its fur page. Text exports include the links.

Individual fur pages

• Every fur now has its own page (eg. /fur/red-gorilla/) that you can bookmark and share, with all the details, vendor buttons and a “Similar colors” section of up to 48 furs.

Search

• Search ignores punctuation, accents and apostrophes.
• Type a hex code (#eb2f23, eb2f23 or #e23) to see every fur ordered by closest color match.
• Pile lengths are searchable as fractions and ranges, like 1 1/2-2″.

Sorting & paging

• New “Newest first” sort.
• New “Per page” option (20, 40 or 60).
• Your search, filters, sliders, sort and page are saved in the web address, so Back returns to the same results and filtered views can be shared.

Similar colors

• In a multi-color fur’s popup, click a wedge to see matches for just that color. Click it again to go back to all colors.

Secondary vendors

• Furs sold by more than one retailer now show up when you filter or search by any of those vendors or ship-from locations, not just the first! (This was a big mistake lol)

More Vendors

• Added Fabric LA, New Fabrics Daily and Fake Fur Shop.
• Multi-colors and unique fur types were added for Bartfeld, Big Z, Cali Quilt Co, CanFur, CR Crafts, Fabric Empire, Fabricville, FurAddiction, Howl’s, Mendel’s and MofuMofu.

Color data

• Color logic was updated again. Single-color furs may now have 2 to 3 hex codes due to highlights and shadows.

UI/UX

• The card name now opens the popup. “View full page” opens in a new tab.
• The popup tucks certain specs under the “More Info” toggle, so Similar Colors is easier to reach.
• The bottom bar now has Palette and Compare tabs.
• Width now switches between inches and centimeters.
• Filter Buttons are now fixed in place.
• The card grid now goes above 4 columns.
• Increased Accessibility.
• Inches show as fractions and millimeters are rounded.
• Added a “Report an error” link with the fur’s name and ID pre-filled, in the popup, on fur pages and in the filter bar.
