Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The workflow combines image upload with physical project constraints: users can select board layouts from 14×14 through 60×60 pegs, choose Mini, Midi, or Maxi bead sizes, and specify A3, A4, A5, Letter, or Legal paper. A 104-color collection can be narrowed to beads the maker owns, while dithering offers a choice between smoother gradients and more scattered colors. The extracted page does not include a sample output.
