    Looks awesome! Very oddly super small window for it in iOS safari though.

    awesome, already love the detailed feature set. one thing I'd love is the option to change themes. for eg. i'd like a more modern theme if i want to create a presentation and send it across. retro is a bit of a cognitive overload on users who are now habitual of navigating a different type of UI.

    Decker is neat. I was in the process of using it the other day, but discovered it did not have much by way of font size adjustment in text fields. You could make a heading, but I didn't see a way to make it bigger or larger than simply being a heading.

      Decker fonts are composed of fixed-size bitmaps. The included example "fonts.deck" has a variety of additional fonts to choose from in various sizes, and an editor:

      We also recently gained a library for working with vector-based text:

        Hey, been a while. I want you to know three things:

        1. I hope you're doing okay lately 2. WigglyPaint is some of the best happiness-per-LoC I've seen in years, and I think of it often 3. I think OctoJams were a success because they got new generations of emulator devs started

        P.S. The time I woke up to see you wrote three interpreters overnight was something I will never forget. Keep rocking.

        Ah. That would have been good to know! I was looking mostly in the interface for a font size tweaker of some kind.
