Hey! I kind of gave up on Twitter a while back, but I'm even more uncomfortable with the way it seems to be going. So, I'm not monitoring this account these days. You can find me on the @roboFontEditor Slack if you need help with code or whatever.

@DrReinhold @roboFontEditor On curve points become portals when hit directly. The first on curve point in each contour has a larger hit zone, so it is activated frequently. The yellow spiral indicates that a portal has been activated. Yes. I did spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time thinking about this.

I love this quote: "Automation isn’t so much about letting all users script apps, because we all know most users aren’t scripters. But automation lets the users who are scripters provide solutions for the whole community of users." — @gruber daringfireball.net/linked/2022/06…

Need a script? Check here before you write it! Have a script? Link to it here! This is going to be extraordinarily helpful. Way easier than trying to remember "where did I see someone…"

There’s a ton of useful @roboFontEditor scripts out there that aren’t extensions on @RFMechanic , so as a first step, I’ve put together a little database where people can submit their scripts.

*Okay. There is one major thing still missing: split view. I have been working on this for months, sometimes during all of my working time for multiple days in a row. NSSplitView + auto-layout is the most frustrating and befuddling API I've ever had to deal with.

I'm happy with the API design and text syntax so I think those are locked. All* of the major controls and views are there. At this point I'm just fixing bugs and adding "I always wanted to be able to … in vanilla." stuff.

My Laser Measure extension for @roboFontEditor 4.2+ is now available via @RFMechanic. I added a lot of features after drawing with it for a while. Named values, anchors, selected points (like the old days!), segment match highlighting, etc.
