That's super-cool. Honestly that's what I was expecting the submission to be.

When I looked at the example image in the original submission, the same letters all look basically identical to me -- I can't figure out why it's JavaScript rather than just a font.

Yours actually looks like real handwriting. It's quite slow, though -- like the actual speed it takes to write. Was just wondering if you slowed it down intentionally for effect, or if that's just how long the NN takes?

Also, I'm not familiar with the space, but this feels like something you could commercialize as a plugin for Illustrator or something like that -- particularly if you had a range of sliders to really fine-tune the desired text properties (width, weight, weight variation, etc.).

It's not intentionally slowed down. The sampling process is computationally heavy and you'll notice improved performance when running it on better hardware. There are many algorithmic ways to speed up neural network computation and I'm fairly sure I could speed things up by an order of magnitude or two if I invested some time into it.
