Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo this is a great idea!

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo If it's 100% local, why have it in the browser at all? Also, uploading a scan of my handwriting to a server I don't know or control sounds risky as hell.

@eighthourlunch hence, local. If you don't believe me, view source. It's just a single page web app. No databases. Hell, not even localstorage.

I'm doubtful. I mean: getting a computer to write as badly as I do sounds impossible. I'll try it, but I'm warning you: if the output is legible I want my money back! -

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo first thought, if it's local, use a different word than "upload".
That's bound to cause confusion - either in your app, or elsewhere by normalising the idea of there not really being a distinction.
Not sure what else to suggest, but perhaps "provide" or "select" or "copy"

@uep that's a good detail to sweat. Let me think about that.

How does it work?
@jennifer javascript, primarily. Unless that was a more specific question? I can give you more full technical details, certainly. I mean, you download the template, fill it out, pass the image back to the app, process it there, download. Maybe I don't understand the question?

Not how to use it. That's pretty straightforward. I'm wondering what it does step by step.

@jennifer What it... does? I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I genuinely don't understand *specifically* what you're asking.

@uep made some adjustments. Clarified.

@jennifer the thing it was designed to do? lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@mason @jennifer seems like the #ai and #vibecoding hashtags were a dead giveaway? Nothing gets by you.

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo Love it! But I'm german and need Ää, Öö, Üü and ß
Will you add them to your template? that would be incredible!
(Maybe the scandinavian types as well: Åå, Œœ, ooops, now I think of polish types …) -
