An up-to-date, modern thread brand colour picker 🧵🌈 (sh.itjust.works)

Hey guys!

As part of ClickStitch I've has to store threads from multiple brands and ended up creating this fun colour picker!

https://clickstitch.app/tools/thread-brand-finder

📅 Up-to-date

I've written a script that will retrieve all threads listed on the brand websites to ensure new ones are available.

Currently a total of 1683 threads exist, split as:

DMC: 665
Anchor: 484
Madeira: 379
Kreinik: 155

But there are many more so these will come in the future!

🎯 Accuracy

All stored threads are compared, and the thread with the closest RGB value is chosen per brand.

🎇 Modern

Find your colour using a colour picker, no need to go through hundreds of colours and codes manually!

Hopefully it's useful, what other brands would you like to see?

Any bugs or suggestions let me know! Best way is via Discord: https://clickstitch.app/discord

Looks like you have a consistent amount of options on the bottom once they load. You should just keep a constant height there to avoid the constant resizing.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll reduce the resizing! At some point I'd like some options to be configurable (such as filtering on metallic threads etc) so that height may change a lot

More than anything, I think you can just make the "Finding Thread" container bigger, to match the size of the 4 results (which seems to be the usual limit?)

One solution that comes to mind would be to match the previous results-container height on the searching-container? Then you only get resizes if the number of results differ

I've updated it so that the loading text replaces the textbox content. No more resizing and the colours will transition nicely!
