Thank you! Especially for noticing the mobile UI, I'm always the worst at those so I'm glad to see it worked out!

Thank you for sharing that! I had originally started this project with the intention of making an editor for the "mail" from Pokémon G/S/C before I decided to focus on Animal Crossing instead. It's cool to know that I'm not the only one interested in that sort of thing, but shame that they never added the mail from that game.

Oh thanks for the heads up, never knew that. Now to fix all the places I misspelled it...

Hello all! I posted this last week and didn't realize it would stay in the moderation queue for so long, so imagine my surprise when I started getting notified for so many messages today! Thanks for all of the lovely messages thrown into the sea, I've parsed through today's batch and pushed through the moderated ones. Hope you all continue to enjoy the project!

Wait that is actually brilliant, great idea!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes the messages are sent to me, no worries. Submitted messages are sent to an AWS API Gateway endpoint for rate limiting and then to me. I then manually commit the ones that are not rude and don't include identifying info/don't seem to have been submitted by mistake! I have a couple of reasons for manually committing them rather than using a simple DynamoDB database or something. First, since I have to moderate through the messages manually anyways, it's about the same amount of effort tbh. Second, I wanted the messages to be available forever and having them committed allows for people to save them in the future should they wish to!

Sure, next release I'll add a version that removes the operator ligatures

What if it played the Minecraft sunrise theme at sunrise so you could be reminded of your shame after an all-night coding session

Glad you like it, I've never seen it in a font before so I am unsure if there are any others that add it in. I've definitely appreciated the ligature as I use the font, but I did wonder if others would find it annoying

Don't worry, it's completely open source! Miracode is a fork of my other font "Monocraft" which is under the GPL. As such, Miracode is also GPL, and the font files themselves are under the OFL. Since it's a fork, there are a few extra files that are not actually executed which may be why you aren't seeing the algorithm. Check miracode.py for the script that generates the font! No promises that it'd work on other fonts though, the "algorithm" was made over a weekend and as such could definitely use some optimization. On the bright side, I did include a unit testing system which might help others convert fonts in the future.

No promises that it is actually a good algorithm, I definitely had to handle a lot of edge cases and I am sure there are more out there! The best decision I made was to make a unit testing system for the font, so hopefully that'll make things easier for people in the future.
