@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.

Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I can definitely say that it works.
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 …) -

@ChrisPirillo oh, wow!
Edit: No, it does not.
I'm sorry for being so critical, but your tool is so great/works great, I'd love to use it, but I need the correct character set, otherwise I can't use it *cries loudly* -

@ChrisPirillo Sorry, another Question: It only creates capital letters?
🥺@exil_inselette it creates whatever you draw.

@exil_inselette it creates whatever you draw.
@ChrisPirillo I understand. But I need upper and lower case letters in one font, because in German the first letter of many words is capitalized. But as I understand the template, I have to enter three identical letters?

@exil_inselette you can choose which character you want for each row. You could do uppercase in the first row, lowercase in the second row.

@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 @ChrisPirillo as a developer you need to codesign the binaries and that costs something.
Apple developer account costs 100usd per year.
For Microsoft you need to get extended validation certificate, which costs like 250Usd per year.That could be one reason.

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo I've tried it now. It's really great! But there's one thing I really miss: correct quotation marks. In German, we do them like „this“: a small 66 at the bottom front, a small 99 at the back (not actual numbers, of course, but the numbers illustrate where they are thick and how they are curved).
Edit: I tried entering them as alternatives to " but I can't get them to work on the keyboard

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo can you please start putting alt text on your images? you've been part of the Internet for so long, if anyone might understand the importance of alt text I'd assume it would be you

Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo While I appreciate both the effort and craft - you clearly overestimate the legibility of my handwriting. By a lot.
