Products that do what Programming Fonts Browser does
http://app.programmingfonts.org I've spent some time collecting monospace programming fonts, particularly those that are free to use. (Monospace because you can program with any font and you've got to draw the line somewhere). Usually I include some background info and basic stats in a blog post, and add it to a test drive "app". I've gone through some iterations here, and currently the backbone is a JSON data set (https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/blob/gh-pages/fon...). I've been wondering what further to include here, e.g. glyph counts,…

Regular weight is free for the community. I'm releasing more weights based on interest.

A big plus is that it doesn't require a Chrome extension, unlike a lot of other tools in this space. You can also search for a specific font and find websites using it. For example, check out sites using Inter: https://fontofweb.com/w/inter. This reverse font search even supports looking for multiple fonts at once, like here’s an example…
