Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons. Some people select blocks of text to help mark what they are reading, and some people use it to paste the words in a dictionary or translation service of their choice. (Or when making a bug report to copy the version number from the about screen.)

Don't block text selection for prose, only for UI elements.

thanks for the feedback and reporing the bug, the goal was to have the custom context menu instead of the browser one; but seems like that casued an error, will fix it asap.

How can I access this forever without fears of it going away? I hate changing things like workflows or interfaces really. How can I keep a copy locally to run it such that it no longer requires access to the web or freeze the current working version?

Hopefully, after finishing it fully, in future I'll create a native desktop version.

[Spoiler Alert] I am also thining about creating a LLM moder for vector generation with open weights that can be run by user, so we can have AI fearues as well (far in future)

A local web server would be fine for me; save yourself the time of creating another version of the same thing

Amazing work, well done!

I found a weird bug when using the glyph tool on Hebrew text. Where can I file an issue?

Also, are you planning to open the source?

Haven't decided on the OpenSource yet (I had a project back in the day called Open-Scissor but that is different).

Here is the bug report: - https://github.com/samalstudios/scissor-community/issues/new...

Spectacular!

Just checking help/about Scissors shows how detail oriented you are. As the saying goes, you paint the wall at the back of the dishwasher so the plumber knows you have good taste
