I would suggest drag to move dots

Same, I love the idea but the editor needs a bit of work. Moving dots, deleting dots and dragging to create new lines would be nice.

On the other hand I do like that it is low resolution so one is limited from trying to add lots of details.

Hate the font, love the editor.

edit: tried to type "à", and the letter is not recognized in the font (appears in red in the editor).

Would there be a way to tell the editor that "à" = "a" + "`", rather than retyping the symbol from scratch?

edit2 : Having to remove all the [2..n] points if you want to change the second point you made is also a bit of a pain, especially for people like me with little experience of where the points end up being on the line vertically.

this read to me like brutalità (which would be "brutality" in italian but i don't know if it is actually a word in use) first

close enough, but it's in spanish. Form the website: "The name means "little brutal" in Spanish." so the emphasis is on the 'i'

yes, hence the "first" (before i saw the note)

Reminded me a teenie tiny bit of the original font used by Habbo Hotel Volter (Goldfish) which has a rough pixel look to it (at least that's how my nostalgia makes me see it) they got rid of the Volter font when Habbo upgraded from Adobe Shockwave to Adobe Flash, they went to Ubuntu font if I remember correctly. I still miss the old font. My favorite thing about Habbo's font from back in 2001 is the "emojis" that it…

Reminds me of Teletext, the BBC Micro’s mode 7, and Bedstead https://bjh21.me.uk/bedstead/
