Draw the Character You're Looking For
You’re writing some nice LaTeX document, and there is some character whose command you can’t remember. Well, Detexify is a nifty little webapp that allows you to draw the symbol or character you’re looking for, and returns you a list of potential candidates. Pretty cool stuff, since you can “teach” the beast to recognize your symbols, and the code is available on git (have to get back to Ruby these days… looking at the code makes you wonder why you still bother with all that Java overhead).
Simple and smart.
