We are working on a fast reading font which works by using just opentype features (no server or other script required)

We also created some emoji fonts: https://github.com/Born2Root/Feature-Fonts

Please god. I don't believe in you but maybe someone else does and will think me a kindred spirit worthy of mercy. Let me have trailing commas. There is no reason not to. It's backward compatible, easy to implement and would make the world so so so much better.

they are _not_ backwards compatible. That's a big part of the problem. A trailing comma is a syntax error for an SQL engine without support for it

Off topic but I love the YouTube player interface. Instead of loading it by default (and adding invasive Google tracking to the page), you get the option to opt in. Very nice.

hosting such videos on YouTube alternatives (even federated once) would be even better. I.e Blender has a peertube instance video.blender.org

there are many projects implementing this style, but I haven't seen one coming up with a font based solution, nice
