I really wish they had opened sourced this. Was just thinking of exactly that post, thanks for finding it.

It really makes a difference to have hand written with a pen as long as you have a font with multiple letter variants/subtly differences between the same letter used repeatedly.

Open sourced the hardware or the software part? (Note: I'm the author of that twitter thread.)

The hardest part was probably the handwriting "generation." I put "generation" in quotes because it was mostly selecting one of the characters from the library of characters that we captured and putting it together with other characters.

The hardware had a lot of hard spots, but I think they were mostly hard because that was my first real foray into hardware.

Both? The hardware? I loved what you did and would love to replicate it.

yes ,because what we need is airplane-loads of machine-produced paper notes to travel around the world

Anyone who owns real estate in certain markets is already familiar with the mountains of “handwritten” notes offering to buy far under market value. This’ll just make it harder to detect.
