    It could work on mobile if you work a little bit on it. Right now touch is dragging the screen

      Oh, yes, forgot about it. On tablet it could be pretty convenient to use, if it works. Thank you!

    It's a shame that I haven't read text above after posting (only in Edit mode).

    I used asterisk after "difficult task" and in the footer — all between became italic. And also brush was cleaned out.

    Would much prefer it to start with just printable ASCII characters in the brush (32--126) from which the output would work in more places and would be in better alignment with the name.

    Having said that, yes, fun and interesting, thank you...

      Thank you for trying it and for the feedback! Glad you liked it!

      Yes. I started like this. But then set these fancy characters by default to show the capabilities, because those who are familiar with the concept know the possibilities, but those who don't know could think that it's limited and not notice wide limits.
