Show HN: 1-Bit Pixel Art Font Editor I like making small fonts for Arduino and ESP32 projects with those little SSD1306 OLED screens. So I made this browser-based tool to help design pixel art fonts for use in those embedded projects.

It has a preview area that updates when you save your character. It can support fixed-width and variable-width fonts. And when you're done you can export the font in a few different formats.

It comes with a bunch of example fonts built-in. Also it's fully client-side code so you can save the webpage to use it offline.

If you want some inspiration for fonts, I made a bunch of really small fonts a few years ago: https://www.moonbench.xyz/projects/tiny-pixel-art-fonts/

Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings

Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal&#x2F;insert&#x2F;visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd&#x2F;yy&#x2F;p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works.<p>It supports CSV&#x2F;TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references.<p>The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it&#x27;s usable.<p>To try it out: cargo install cell-sheet-tui<p>Feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!
