How one annoying teacher can give you an idea.

myFonttyper. What is it? A short story.

I always hated writing texts. My hand would always get cramped up, and in the end, I could not even read what I wrote a second ago. I thought everything was about to change after I went to 11th grade. We got our own IPads, which meant, no more writing. Or so I thought.

Lots of teachers did not really care what we did, so a lot of them let us type our homework, and send it like that. But one teacher in particular, our history teacher, she did not want any of that. She forced us to write with our hand, and if your homework was typed? Well, bad for you, you did not do your homework. I hated that, everybody hated that.

So, when it was time for a summer break, I thought to myself; "man, 2 weeks of school left, and I still have homework that I gotta do with my apple pen. I wish there was an alternative", there really was not. I researched for up to half an hour, until I just opened VSCode and sat down for one single weekend.

myFonttyper was born. It was ugly, and buggy, but it was born. Instantly on the day I released it on netlify (back then it was static), I used it. The results? Success. I wrote the letter, numbers, and symbols only once, and my website basically changed what I wrote into my handwriting. The teacher did not notice a thing, my homework was accepted.

During the holidays I sat down, created an app, released it on both iOS and Android. Afterwards I finished creating an API in GoLang, and switched to a dynamic web design rather than a static one.

I bought myself a server, and learned server management, and Linux Administration. Dockerization, Automation, Security, and Monitoring.

Everything thanks to that one teacher. So again, I repeat myself.
It is crazy, how one annoying teacher can give you an Idea.

Thanks for reading.
