I've been building a tool that turns a logo into a machine file. DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3. It's not for sale and there's no website.

It keeps each colour separate, ties off every thread, doesn't jump across the design, and nothing goes over a 4mm stitch. I compared it against a properly digitized file and the numbers land in about the same place. I also ran the free online converters on the same logos. Mine covers a lot more of the artwork — one of them left half a shield with no stitches on it at all.

The problem is I don't own a machine, so none of this has ever been sewn. I have no idea if it puckers.

If anyone has a logo they don't mind me using, I'll digitize it for free. All five formats plus a sheet with the thread numbers. All I want back is a photo of how it came out and what you'd change. Honest criticism is the whole point.

Every FPS/temps overlay I've tried — MSI Afterburner + RTSS, HWiNFO, Xbox Game Bar — works fine but looks like it was designed in 2009. Tiny text, gray boxes, config menus five layers deep.

So I'm building Pulse: a Windows overlay that reads your sensors itself and looks right the second it opens. Zero setup, no config files, swappable skins. Planning $3.99 one-time, no subscription.

It's still in development — I'm honestly trying to find out if I'm the only one who cares about this before I build the whole thing.

Would you use it? What's missing? Tear it apart.
