Scan your website and discover where your font files are hosted. This tool scans your website and returns a list of the font files used to render your page. The primary goal is to identify if you are referencing any files located on Google’s servers. Referencing font files hosted on external servers is no longer considered optimal, instead it is better to host them on your domain. There are two reasons why: The first reason is user-privacy . When your website relies on an external service, some of your users data is transferred to the provider of that service. In the case of Google Fonts, a German court ruled that connecting to the Google Fonts API without user consent is a violation…from fontsplugin.com

    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!

  • ChatGPT▲1,643

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
