I think it is easy to dismiss until you've had a proper go at it

The experience for me was really engaging, and it gives you a kind of energy to keep going.

If you struggle to code outside of work, I think twitch streaming can give you the power to keep going at it without feeling burned out. Without streaming I find it is super easy to switch off and turn on some youtube video or play a game.

I think it would be great to have a constant underscore over the baseline, so you can tell single characters apart (a,b,c,d) are currently impossible to distinguish if you have them printed arbitrarily on a page.

Perhaps the characters could be colour coded, too? As we are not limited by having to switch out pens, why not? I think it would make reading much faster and it would be easy to disable/enable.

I dislike the implementation of punctuation, I would prefer a font that uses a monospaced grid and sticks with it, so you can render the font on teeny tiny displays.

They need to do better at explaining what this is.

Is it a physical device like in the pictures, or a piece of software? It does not make it clear. I can make a best guess, but from this landing page it is uncertain.

I believe the neutral grey helps to shift the focus away from the UI to your art piece.
