Hello HN! I wanted to make a font that I can "snap" to vertices on a grid for an upcoming project, and after starting making it I decided that it was going to be easier to iterate if I made an editor too. It uses opentype.js to generate the font and some invisible textarea tricks combined with svg for the text editor.

It took me a second to realize what I was looking at, but this is a very cool toy to play with.

When I click the same bubble twice in a row it clears the entire field of bubbles. Is this intended behavior? Seems like I should be able to undo a click that I've made. Using Firefox on MacOS.

I also lost some font progress to this feature. Maybe a “clear” button would be more intuitive?

Awesome project though and beautiful fonts!
