Hey Community,
May the 4th is tomorrow, and I realized the demo I had in code already had Mandalorian / Rebel references in it, so I turned it into a proper open-source Glyph Toy for Nothing Phone (4a) Pro.
Also a must have to install before going to “Mandalorian and Grogu” premiere later this month.
Github repo is here: https://github.com/antonvidishchev/toyph
Toyph is a JSON-driven Glyph Toy for the 13×13 Glyph Matrix. Right now it can:
- show custom glyphs
- scroll text with custom fonts
- combine effects like `TRIPLE_SCANLINE` and `GLITCH_TEAR`
- apply filters like `pip_boy`
- be customized mostly from `toy-config.json`
What I like most is that it is easy to remix:
- if you want a new glyph, you can draw one in the web editor and export JSON
- if you want a new font for a scrolling text, there is a tool in the repo to convert a TTF/OTF font
- if you want a different vibe, you can change the sequence, effects, and filters in the config
The current demo uses:
- Mandalorian and Rebel glyphs
- `This is the way` scrolling text- Auraboo / Aurebesh styling
- `TRIPLE_SCANLINE`, `GLITCH_TEAR`, and `pip_boy`
If you want to try it or remix it, the repo is here:

You can also make your own glyphs with the browser editor and export them as JSON:

If this looks fun or useful, I would love feedback on:
- more themes / presets
- more effects or filters- easier setup or sharing flow
Also, if people are interested, I can post more demos or a few ready-to-use themed configs.
Small attribution note: the current demo uses the Auraboo font source from theAurekFonts archive, credited upstream to Nick Tierce.
