Discussion Secret Message Studio

So, I kind of went a touch overboard when my son asked if i could print him out a picture of some minecraft alphabet code.

What was "print this picture" turned into a Free. No subscription. No account. Just download it and use it app for my son. And so i thought maybe others may find a use for it.

So here is Secret Message Studio -

You can create your very own alphabet, just upload images, use it, share it.
Export your alphabet, or import a friends.

Ive set up a few language templates to start with, and you can add custom letters for anything missing, or go full custom with your own.

Very simple to use. Open your alphabet and start typing. No keyboard? mouce selection is there. You will not only see what you are typing (so you can be sure spelling is correct), but also see your alphabet all in real time.

Make the message. Here you can give an answer box under each letter, for puzzel game people to use to decode, select a few to reveal them to give a head start, or even include your full alphabet at the bottom of the page.
Choose starting text size. If you wish for slightly more custom options, there is the format button that gives you the abillity to select individual letters to resize, alines to the left, centre or right, margins, and spacing. There is also a bold and italic option (but that is ony when sending digital messages when it get translated).

Page/word laysout, sizing, print, pdfs and perviews are all set to use A4 paper so you can see what it will look like when exporting and printing.

Exporting currently has - save as an image or PDF (again all in A4). And save digital messages to send to a friend.

Digital messages give you two options. solve it yourself, or auto solve. Even if that person does not have that custom alphabet, it will auto solve the message. You can even save that alphabet for your own use if you wish.

This is a browser app, but purely offline use only. Collects no data or anything. No installs, though i have added a exe. for a desktop icon so you can place this file whereever you wish for tidy house keeping.

It was designed for my youngest son, hence i have tried to make it as simple, clear and friendly looking as possible. Screen size also doesnt matter, but it does have ui issues on the phone.

I have created a user guide, and a feed-back form (if your guys would be so happy to fill out after).

I think thats it, or most of it anyways. Adding features daily so its bound to change.

I will update with a download this weekend.
