This tool will help you convert your text to handwriting xD

Fixes #81 Fixes #82

In this PR I've tried to solve issue #81 and #82 by making the whole layout of pages discrete rather than continuous ones. It has several advantages in terms of performance as well as user interaction.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] { I think it will be more helpful if we can provide support in other languages specially hindi. It will help a lot of students ! } Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. { Well in too short I want to help my younger brother who has hindi as subject. Its just an extension of languages you provide sir. More languages mean more help as your application will have than a much broader audience. } Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Most people use the Camscanner app to scan paper. It has a filter which makes the image black & white-ish & increase contrast or something. The output is very distinguishable.

Adding that filter to this output will help pass the output more as our assignment.

Certainly what you are doing is way too much for us, but as the greed increases for perfection can you add the option to add our assignment pages as it includes the logo of our college and would look a little more closer to legitness .. thanks btw :)

Currently, the lines on paper are straight. However usually when you scan a paper, the paper has folds and curves so it hardly looks exactly straight.

This is what it should look like instead (did this in photoshop)

If anyone knows how can we achieve this using CSS, do let me know!

Description of the bug the canvas is not fully usable. the space on top is not usable but instead the downwards part of the canvas is being drawn on but not being displayed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on the draw button.
2. try to draw over the first like 100px of the drawing canvas.
3. we cannot draw

Expected behavior we should be able to draw over that part of the canvas and not be able to draw over the bottom part of the canvas (the part that is not being displayed)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 7
• Browser chrome
• Version 83.0.4103.116

Describe the bug Adding More fonts are causing problems like page loading and affecting performance

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the correct font format
2. Preload fonts
3. Avoid invisible text during font loading.
4. Use the correct font-face declaration

Expected behavior I will prefer Correct font-face declaration. Declaring a font-face family is very simple but we must take care with certain things when we do it. We can use optimised fonts and we tell the browser to load only the required glyphs range (from U+000 to U+5FF),

• Added Draw Diagrams feature to draw diagrams and add them to paper.
• HTML Made a little semantic (Idk why I mixed it with this branch but this is how it is now :c )
• Refactored to use modules.

One script converts a hard coded line of text to handwriting. Another takes a text file as input and converts all the lines to handwriting, each line being separated by a new-line character. Selenium web automation is used to achieve this. Furthermore, the chrome browser used has been made hidden, i.e., the script runs the tasks in the background, and hence gives the illusion of a feel of using the command line to get the desired result. Further improvements to the script are welcome, as only a few of the options have been scripted.

A suggestion to create another side of the sheet of paper, I need this suggestion so they don't notice to look like I'm skipping the side of the sheet

Add to Margin & Line Options

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Adding negative values to letter word spacing will be more realistic

Describe the solution you'd like Add negative values for letter and word spacing atleast till -2

Text on Margin isn't synchronizing with the text of body after generation of image it's looking fine while writing but when we generate image it showing like if we want to write ques and answer on margin and definition of question and answer on the body of the page. Margin side text is not going along with the text on the body side.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://saurabhdaware.github.io/text-to-handwriting/'
2. Write a ques 1 and Ans on margin side and define the ques and ans on body repeat it for multiple questions
3. After Generated Image
4. See Error

Hey everyone! I want to Thank you for all the support on this project.

Text to Handwriting started as a joke and never thought it will receive the popularity it is receiving today. As much as I love the popularity it is getting, This also increases the issues and PRs on the repository, emails of people asking for features, bug reports, etc. This eventually needs my attention. Even if I decide to stop actually committing and just focus on reviewing the PRs and replying to issues, that still is a lot for me.

Building tools to improve the development experience is something that I truly enjoy and thus most of my other projects are focused on DX. Text-to-handwriting is not that and to be honest, I don't enjoy working on this as much as I do with Abell or other projects. As already mentioned, text-to-handwriting was just supposed to be a joke, I never really considered maintaining this for so long.

Nowadays, I am mostly focused on Abell, my job, and taking the necessary breaks to chill and spend time with people offline. For the last few months working on this project is a compromise on my offline time.

I know there are so many cool features that you all requested but it just won't be possible to have them all because

1. Time limitation as I mentioned
2. Trying to push the limits to make it 100% same as a handwritten image won't really be possible as we hit the implementation limitations in some cases. For example, we can't have randomized words since the text is actually a font, We can't get it all right in the page effects since the effects are CSS and doing anything in that part is difficult and time-consuming, you can't use it for maths assignments because of all the limitations on the computer text that does not allow you to have the math-related symbols.

Thus I feel whatever could be done with this project, is already done. The things that remain are either extremely complicated to implement or simply not possible.

Thus, I've taken the decision to archive this project.

What does this mean?

• There won't be any updates to the tool. No features or bug fixes.
• The tool will always be hosted on https://saurabhdaware.github.io/text-to-handwriting/ and it is not going anywhere.
• You can't create issues, PRs etc.
• if you still want any particular feature, you can take a fork and maintain the feature in the fork

Text-to-handwriting became a reason for a lot of my wins. From being the first google search result for "Text to Handwriting", becoming a trending repository on GitHub, getting a shoutout in so many amazing articles, lots of kind emails and messages on my social media, and a shoutout from the Dan Abramov.

And beyond the numbers, some of my favorite wins were-

• when someone reached out to me on Twitter with a screenshot of their college WhatsApp group where they were freaking out about the tool!
• There was a teacher who showed this tool to her students!
• A parent, helping their kid with the assignment that needed urgent submission
• Anddd a whole lot of messages about how their teachers couldn't figure out the difference and gave them full marks xD

Definitely looking forward to more of these! Thank you, everyone!

Here's to normalizing making decisions for mental health 🌻

Describe the bug When adding multiple drawings through the button, the display(generate image) only shows the image contained on page-1 and not the rest. When generating pdf, only one-page images(drawing) are displayed and in other places, this code is displayed -> (321.px;>)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Draw', draw, and place multiple images on multiple pages
2. Click on 'generate image'
3. Scroll down to the 'output' section
4. See error -> only one of the pages has images displayed when making it multiple pages.

Expected behavior All the images(drawings) loaded should be displayed in the respective places they're placed on.
