TypeStax: A type scale generator with vintage audio hardware interface

Oh I love this a surprising amount. Also a good reminder of some of the dividends of vibe coding -- this would have been an extremely useful tool for at least two decades of web designers if published in the early 2000s. Even now for a type nerd who is not a designer, it was fun to play with -- really cool.

		The thing it makes me wonder is why we need vibe coding to create such an app --- why can't there be a nifty RAD tool for web development like to VB6 which makes this sort of thing easy and natural --- I expected LiveCode to become that, but they never seemed to get any traction w/ their HTML5 Canvas implementation. SpiderBasic might be usable thus, but I've yet to find a nice graphical IDE which ties into the code in a fashion which makes sense to me.

the export button actually being useful is the difference here, most of these type scale tools are fun to play with then you have to manually rebuild everything anyway. gonna steal this workflow for setting up type styles before I even open framer
