That's super cool, Just! Here is Fontra running on a chromebook. Finally I don't always need to have a Mac at hand just to inspect some font sources :)

I may be getting close to my life long dream of ASCII art for building tool UI. _Hopefully_ this will be good enough to be a part of ezui in @roboFontEditor in the future. I'm updating all the ezui demos to use it as a test case and so far so good… 🔡➡︎➡︎➡︎☎️🖼🔘☑️🎚&c.
