A font that auto-translates Chinese

Hello, this was a funny idea I had. I knew that you could do crazy things with fonts (like play a video game in one: https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html) but with ligatures, I was thinking about how much could you actually push them?

It comes with a bunch of example fonts built-in. Also it's fully client-side code so you can save the webpage to use it offline. If you want some inspiration for fonts, I made a bunch of really small fonts a…

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
