I'm Chris Pirillo. I'm not a developer - just a product guy who remembers when software was fun. I wanted to turn my handwriting into a font. The existing options wanted my email, my money, or my data. Some wanted all three. So I built the thing that should have existed. FontCrafter is one of 280+ free browser apps I've shipped this way at arcade.pirillo.com. The part I'm most proud of: your handwriting scan never touches a server. The entire pipeline - image processing, contour tracing, OpenType assembly - runs in one HTML file on your machine. That's not a privacy policy. That's architecture. I'd love your honest feedback. What's confusing? What's missing? What would make you actually use the font you create?
