What if we shifted our focus entirely from the source of information to how useful and accurate it is?

I can't see how the prevalent value system could avoid being "sapio-supremacist" ? is "future proof" to include intelligences that are artificial but whose "sentience" is otherwise human equivalent or "greater"

Doesn't work, fails to generate a report repeatedly.

Small piece of advice you should be debouncing your primary input at the very least, especially because you insert an entry into the browser history for every character typed (consider only doing that on submit). Plus if any calls are made to the network in response to a key press you’d add unnecessary pressure.

Presently trying to navigate back to the comments from your site after typing out a domain required far more effort than navigating backward a couple times.

Fixed: instead of debouncing, i'm using location.hash, no network requests since hash arguments are ignored in urls.

I can't believe I was making a network request per keystroke, textbook example.

If you're not already using it, the read-fonts and skrifa crates from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations can parse variable font data (as well as pretty much anything else you might want out of an opentype font).

Currently using the fonttools crate, but i'll look into this, appreciate.

Excellent website! I manually still "collect" fonts in a text document using a font finder extension. I couldn't make out but is there a way to:

a. add any website you find that has a good font/paring, optionally with comparisons? (For example polestar's Unica77 is nice, I remember coming across NB International somewhere which is similar in some ways but nicer)

b. maintain one's "own" list of websites with good font/pairings?

I'll note down the font comparison feature, there might be something to it indeed.

Yup, you can currently bookmark a website by clicking the button at the right side of the search bar, and also add it to a collection you create.

Here's my bookmarks as an example: https://fontofweb.com/2 And one of my collections: https://fontofweb.com/2/serif-heavy-sites

Hey guys, seems the influx of traffic has resulted in some unforeseen circumstances; i'm still trying to figure out what's going wrong.

Edit - Fixed, Cloudflare wanted some money :)
