Show HN: Free Unicode font generator with 19 styles, client-side processing

https://cursivetextgenerator.org/
1•qinggeng•3h ago
I built a simple tool to convert text into Unicode font styles without the usual bloat of existing generators.

*Why I made this:* Most font generators are ad-heavy, require signups, or have poor UX. I wanted something clean that just works.

*Technical approach:* - Pure client-side processing using Unicode character mapping - No server-side storage or processing of user text - Built with Next.js/TypeScript, deployed on Vercel - Responsive design that works across devices

*Features:* - 19 Unicode font styles (, , , Ⓒⓘⓡⓒⓛⓔⓓ, etc.) - Real-time conversion as you type - One-click copy to clipboard - Hover tooltips explaining each font style - Zero tracking or analytics

*Privacy by design:* Your text never leaves your browser. The conversion happens entirely client-side using JavaScript Unicode mappings.

*Link:* https://cursivetextgenerator.org

The code handles edge cases like mixed character sets and maintains consistent spacing. Happy to discuss the Unicode mapping implementation or answer technical questions.

Looking for feedback on the UX and any additional font styles that would be useful.
