The Development of Freaky Fonts

Hey there! I'm super stoked to tell you all about how I cooked up Freaky Fonts, this really cool website that turns your plain - Jane text into all kinds of wild and wacky font styles.

I got the idea for Freaky Fonts when I was scrolling through my social media feeds one day. I saw how everyone was trying so hard to make their posts pop. And I thought, "Why not create a tool that makes it super easy for people to add some serious flair to their online messages?"

When it came to building the site, I went with Next.js. Let me tell you, this framework was a game - changer. It made the website load lightning - fast, which is a must for a tool that people want to jump right into. For styling, I used Tailwind CSS. It's like having a magic wand for design. With its utility - first style, I could whip up a sleek and user - friendly interface in no time. And for the backend, I chose Supabase. It handled all the user data and font info like a champ.

The whole development process was a wild ride. It took me around two weeks of non - stop coding and coffee - fueled late nights. In the beginning, I spent days sketching out the layout, brainstorming which crazy font styles to include, and getting the basic structure of the site in place. Then, came the real fun part – implementing all the technologies and writing the code to transform plain text into these awesome, freaky fonts. Testing was a bit of a headache, but I wanted to make sure the site worked like a charm on every browser and device out there.

Now, Freaky Fonts is up and running, and it's got this huge collection of the most freaky fonts you can imagine. All you have to do is type, copy, or paste your text, and boom! Ordinary characters turn into something that'll make your eyes pop. And the best part? You can share these fancy texts on all your favorite platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter. Plus, there are some really cool character transformation tools on the site. You can mix and match fonts randomly, customize the character mapping, reverse the text, or even scramble it. It's like a playground for your text!

Right now, I'm knee - deep in working on a Chrome browser plugin for Freaky Fonts. I'm super excited about this because it's going to make using our freaky fonts even more convenient. Just imagine, you're writing an email, leaving a comment on a blog, or posting on social media, and with just a couple of clicks, you can turn your boring text into something totally awesome. So, keep an eye out for the plugin release, and keep exploring the wacky world of freaky and fancy fonts on Freaky Fonts!
