I wanted to write something different to try out the font. My first instinct is to delete "I Am Bagel" completely and write something myself. However as soon as I delete it, it comes back. So I have to keep at least one letter on the screen, write what I want to write, then delete that letter afterwards (edit: or select the whole text and start writing). Maybe there could be a short timeout before "I Am Bagel" appears again after it is deleted. That will give the user time to start writing something.

I guess one could try the font out after following the "Full characters" link. However you implemented screen capturing on the initial page, so you obviously want people to write things there.

I realize it's a nitpick but I was unreasonably upset that I couldn't delete everything and start writing from scratch :)

You can do that, just select everything and then type your text. It works :) but I feel you

Yes I thought of that after posting and edited it in :) But not being able to delete everything in a text box is really bothering me. It's like an itch :)

Thanks for the comment! I actually just fixed this—it’s something I was aware of but had been putting off. I really appreciate you pointing it out. It might seem like a small thing, but you're absolutely right that little details like this matter a lot. Thanks again for taking the time to mention it :)
