Field notes
The interface exposes a surprisingly broad set of physical constraints: ribbon color and wear, correction paper, margin stops, carriage release, platen rotation, line height, paper alignment, and page orientation. It supports several office-paper and specialty-paper choices, then offers print, PNG, JPG, snapshot, and save/load functions. The homepage attributes the software to Lars Brandt Stisen and says it runs locally in the browser.
