We built Typewriter Simulator to recreate the feeling of a manual typewriter: moving typebars, a margin bell, recorded mechanical sounds and imperfect ink. Typing too fast can jam the keys. Then we tried drawing with it. The portrait is made from 2,073 typed impressions, with a black/red ribbon and backspace overprints. The arrow keys move the paper so you can build up a picture. You can try the full simulator here (free, no signup): https://typewriter.snipstack.io/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch Best with a desktop keyboard. We would love feedback on the mechanical feel, and to see what you make. This is our own project.   submitted by   /u/Signal_Work158 [link]   [comments]
