Did you use the "mean comment generator" to write this comment?


What’s the use case you’re trying to solve for here?


Using an oscilloscope to find a signal, then writing custom DSP code to decode the signal. I'm thinking of stuff like 1 or n-wire binary protocols, NTSC, and such. Or am I supposed to be looking at software-defined radio (SDR) hardware?


this looks so great! congrats on the launch!


thanks I really appreciate that


Hey HN, Alex and Ben here, and we wanted to share another web app we created recently.

Sweetfont is a tool to help you find fonts without having to know a lot about typography.

There are over a million fonts in existence - and over 1,400 on Google Fonts alone - and it's hard to filter through to find one that is a good fit for your project. Ben is a typography nerd and knows tons of obscure fonts (and was offended by my constant use of Google's Poppins). So, we decided to make a tool that would help normal people (like me) find the right fonts too.

For Sweetfont, we had designers assess every Google Font's "personality". We surface it through the sliders. In the future, we'd like to add fonts from other sources too.

Let me know what you think!


Great idea!


Good find -- we'll fix that!


Yeah, rereading the license, it looks like we shouldn't use images from there. We have already removed them from the list - thanks for the flag


Great, I amended my original comment.


Once this becomes the next decacorn, we're going to get Ferdinand Z. M. B. K. M. O. A. B. L. von Habsburg-Lothringen to be our spokesman. Heck, Ferdinand -- if you're in the comments, you can be our spokesman now if you want


That's a good point -- our goal is for everything on the site to be able to be used without any sort of attribution. I think it's that way now, but will go and double check everything we're using today
