## Live App

Try the editor live:

- Latest official release: https://editor.counterpunch.space (rarely updated, see [releases](https://github.com/counterpunchspace/editor/releases))
- Latest preview: https://preview.editor.counterpunch.space (updates after every successful push)

## Source File I/O

Counterpunch converts opened source files into the Babelfont model for editing.
Direct source saving is deliberately limited to formats with a browser-safe
serializer; unsupported source formats fail instead of receiving Babelfont JSON
under their original extension.
Saving to UFO/DS and .glyphspackage is in development.

| Format | Open | Save | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `.babelfont` | Yes | Yes | Native JSON source format. |
| `.glyphs` | Yes | Yes | Glyphs 3 source text, serialized by `babelfont-rs`/`glyphslib`. |
| `.glyphspackage` | Yes | No | Directory-based Glyphs package import. |
| `.ufo` | Yes | No | Directory-based UFO import. |
| `.designspace` | Yes | No | Requires the Designspace file and referenced UFO entries. |
| `.vfj` | Yes | No | FontLab source import. |
| `.sfd` | Yes | No | FontForge source import. |
| `.ttf` | No | Export only | Use binary-font export; it is not an editable source import format. |

## Development

Run the app locally with `cd webapp && npm run dev`, test with `npm run test`. For further developer documentation, see [DEVELOPMENT.md](/developer-docs/DEVELOPMENT.md)
