    Hi HN!

    I built this as a weekend project to explore Japanese naming culture and minimalist UI design.

    - *What it does*: Generates a printable/shareable card (1200×800px) with your name in kanji, hiragana, romaji, and meanings for both given & family names. - *Tech stack*: React + TypeScript, html2canvas for export, all logic runs in-browser (no server, no analytics). - *Design inspiration*: MUJI, Little Forest movie posters, and traditional calligraphy. - *Why?*: I wanted a tool that feels calm, respectful, and culturally thoughtful — not just a gimmick.

    Would love your feedback — especially on UX, performance, or cultural accuracy!
