Handwriting.io VS BirdFont

This is neat. I'd like to hear a bit about how it works. There is a similar paid API that does something like this https://handwriting.io (seems like they are down now though) I used to use it for print projects back in the day. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

If you're struggling with FontForge, you can also try BirdFont which is a bit simpler. Source: almost 2 years ago
