Hello. I found this website recently and after making some bracelets I was interested in designing my own patterns, but I found it kind of confusing so I wrote a program for designing patterns in a more visual way. The program is at https://jrcurtis.github.io/braceletdesigner/

If you give it a try, I'd be interested to hear any feedback.

@halokiwi Thanks for giving it a look.

@EM29 What web browser are you using? I tested it on Firefox.

It looks like there was a problem with the rotation of the strings on Safari, but it should be fixed now. Let me know if there are any other issues.

I also added some buttons for doubling and mirroring the pattern to create variations.

@JR your program is very cool! Does it only do striped bracelets or can i make it do any other patterns?

@zoeyllm Thanks. You're right that it could probably be streamlined a bit.

@Romy4 It should be able to represent any normal pattern. It doesn't support alpha patterns, though.

@reyyyy The text in the box labeled "pattern knots" can be copied into bracelet book's pattern editor. I've also just updated the program to use letters for the different colors instead of numbers to better match bracelet book, and added a field labeled "colors order" that can be pasted into the corresponding field on bracelet book's editor.

There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.

This is absolutely fantastic!

For some bracelet patterns, I prefer using text, but others I wished I could just change the knots by tapping on them.

This is literally the best of both worlds. You're awesome for making this!!
