Faux Fur Finder — v3 just dropped

I’ve bee putting in some work the last few weeks, and this thing is getting pretty nifty now. Also, wow, my UI doesn’t want to make me vomit anymore.

Functional & Major Changes

Palette builder

“Add to Palette” checkbox on each card feeds a sticky, scrollable bottom tray showing swatch + name + hex for each saved color.
Export palettes as an image or as text.
On multi-color furs, clicking a single pie wedge adds just that color, while “Add to Palette” grabs all colors at once.

Color matching & multi-tone furs

Switched color-distance matching from redmean RGB to CIEDE2000 (Lab-space), which is much more perceptually accurate.
Added support for two-tone (diagonal split swatches) and rainbow/multi-color furs (rendered as pie-wedge swatches).
New Tones for new furs, Multi-Colored, Spotted, Striped, and Animal Print.

Multi-vendor support

Same fur sold by multiple retailers now merges into a single card showing every seller and price, sorted by best deal.
“Starting at $X” and price filtering convert all listings to USD-equivalent and use the cheapest, while displayed prices still follow the currency toggle.
A fur group is only marked “discontinued” if every vendor for it is discontinued — otherwise dropped vendors just quietly disappear from “Available From” and filters.

Filtering logic

Weight filtering simplified to Light/Medium/Heavy classes instead of exact gram values (old raw Weight (g) filter removed).
Pile Length now supports selecting multiple ranges at once instead of just one.

Multi-currency

Live conversion and auto-sync across USD/yd, CAD/m, EUR/m, AUD/m, GBP/yd, and GBP/m using the Frankfurter API.

More Vendors

Collapsible “How to Use” box, now including sections on the palette builder and multi-color furs
‘More Filters’ option, 7 filters have been moved to under this dropdown.
Width filter is now a smooth slider.
Renamed “Main Color Family” → “Main Color” and “Secondary Color Family” → “Secondary Colors”
Added a red “x” to clear individual filters, and renamed “Clear Filters” to “Clear All Filters”
Vendor link buttons are color-coded and show price + vendor name directly on the button
Next/prev page buttons now scroll back to top of results
Yd Width (in) changed to Width

Pagination and result counts now operate on merged vendor groups rather than raw database rows
Cards per page reduced from 60 to 20
The number of furs found is the actual number of distinct furs, not just furs totals.
