Font Tester
I've been looking for new fonts to use for a new project, but there weren't any great tools for seeing how a particular serif font for headers would look with another sans font for paragraph text, so I built a tool that lets you compare, adjust, and tinker with the way you'd use a font in your specific project before downloading it/setting it up. This is only using the free Google fonts for now. If there are other open-source fonts I should add, let me know and I'll add them!

In plain words
Font Tester is a design tool that allows users to preview over 1,000 fonts directly on their website. It helps website owners and designers improve their landing pages by testing typography options before committing to a final choice. The tool streamlines the font selection process, making it easier to experiment with different typefaces and find the best match for a site's design needs.

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
