Not sure if this is allowed so please delete if it is not.
With the recent work on my font and general site development I have created a web-based typewriter (uses the Elite No. 8 font I created). It's kind of live here https://www.davidrhartman.com/typewriter but is just in its early form.
The image is my own Olympia SM3 that I edited into a simplified version.
NOTE: It doesn't work well with the sounds on mobile devices (yet)

Wealth brings great anxiety, while with poverty come fierce resentments.
Dependence on others puts you in their power, while care for others will snare you in the worldly attachments of affection.
Follow the social rules, and they hem you in; fail to do so, and you are thought as good as crazy.
Where can one be, what can one do, to find a little safe shelter in this world, and a little peace of mind?

In Western countries at age 10 roughly 0.5% of the people you've met have died. For every decade above multiply the previous percentage by 2

Age 30: 2%
Age 40: 4%
Age 50: 8%

After a few requests in the typewriter communities I have decided to release version 1.01 of my Elite No. 8 font (monospace) created using my Olympia SM3.
I'm offering it for free under Creative Commons and can be found here: https://www.davidrhartman.com/blog/20260505-olympia-font

Gotta clean some slugs and hit the keys a bit better but this was a quick message so don't really care that much. Photo explains the update 😂

I'm trying to do a ring and cylinder adjustment on my SM3 and this screw is blocked from being loosened. This is the carriage shifted up and it's still unreachable.
EDIT: Pair of needle nose pliers to the rescue!

Trying to figure out if this is the Elite No. 8 since it looks like it but the fraction keys are not the same style (the ones on this machine have a horizontal divider instead of a diagonal one) but the numbers are shaped the same as the No. 8

My last post was about turning my SM3 output into a font to use on my site, well it's integrated 😂
One page as a test but good enough for a day's work right now.

I've converted my SM3 output into a TTF font, not to use in place of the machine itself but to use on my website.
