Projects That May or May Not be Made

Typotek

What is it?

A locally-running font-library, to display all the fonts I have installed on my computer so I can easily visualize them and choose from my collection when I need to.

Why make it?

Because windows is shit and doesn't provide a good way to sort and visualize installed fonts.
I still haven't found an external app that suits my needs.

Workflow

⚹ Install the new fonts I collected
⚹ Make sure every font has a stylesheet and web formats
> For this, use transfonter
⚹ Start a web project, probably based on Julien Bidoret's repository
> This step needs a deep dive into PHP and why it is not working anymore
⚹ Make sure that the project is hosted on codeberg for archive and versioning!

Timetable

Clean up and font installation ~ 1 full day TBD
Verify and update stylesheets and web formats ~ 3 days TBD
Fix PHP half a day to a day TBD
Fill the website with font-files and adapt categories ~ 2 days TBD
Bug fixing ~ 1 day TBD

Rapid prototypes (scratches)

Write one sentence instruction for a work.
Make it.

Relation to a wider context (personal reader?)

If there is no tool, make it! → Strong ties to the F/LOSS way of thinking
