wanted to try out building an open source font generator

Built this as a small open-source experiment to see if a text-based font generator could actually be useful.

the main obj is to help create an initial font prototype faster, so people can iterate openly instead of starting from zero in a traditional font tool. I also wanted to test how good current AI models are at understanding and modifying bezier curves / glyph shapes.

this uses real open-licensed variable fonts as the base, then lets you generate a direction from a prompt, tweak parameters like weight, tracking, slant, width, height, and distortion, and manually edit glyph curves before exporting a .ttf

Would love feedback on whether the workflow is clear, :)

Built an open source AI Font Generator for editable, exportable fonts

Built a small open-source font generator because I wanted to see if a prompt-
based font tool could work. This one uses real open-licensed variable fonts, lets you tweak the axes, edit glyph curves directly, and export an ttf.

Still experimental, but it’s been fun to build and I’d love feedback/contribution from
people who like typography, design tools, or weird browser-based editors.

built a Nepal pay transparency site (Levels.fyi)

Hey everyone, recently I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about wanting a better community sourced platform like Levels.fyi, so I decided to spin out a project called dhewaa at nepal.genroam.io . It’s basically a Nepali version of Levels.fyi with a rant wall too. ('m planning for this to not just be tech-focused!)

Right now for the first phase, you can browse salaries and company reviews without logging in. If you want to add a salary, review, or rant, you’ll need to sign in but everything remains anonymous . I’ve added a few data points similar to what you’d see on Levels.fyi, and some of the current data is sourced from Reddit, social media, and other public posts online. The goal is to grow it with real submissions from people here.

I’m keeping it open for new features and would really appreciate bug reports or any feedback if something feels off. If you’ve ever wished Nepal had something like this, feel free to check it out and add a data point if you’re comfortable. Link: nepal.genroam.io , if you want feel free to check out genroam.io too, its a free resource platform, started out as a hobby project :)
