I've been working on fontgenerator.cc for a while – it converts plain text to fancy Unicode fonts that work across all platforms.

Recently added two features that solve real UX problems I noticed: - Font Comparison Tool (https://fontgenerator.cc/compare-fonts): Users were opening multiple tabs to compare different styles. Now you can select up to 3 fonts side-by-side to see how your text looks before committing. Especially useful when choosing between similar styles like different gothic or cursive variants.

- Random Font Discovery (https://fontgenerator.cc/random-font): With 170+ styles organized in categories, people often stick to the same few fonts. The random generator helps users discover styles they wouldn't normally try – I've seen people find unexpected favorites this way.

The core tool uses Unicode mathematical and symbol characters rather than actual fonts, which is why the text maintains its styling when copied to Twitter, Discord, Instagram, etc. All processing happens client-side.
