✏️ How I Got Rid of My Google-Hosted Web Fonts

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been doing some infrastructure updates to the website, and one of those changes was to drop the use of Google’s linked web fonts and instead host custom fonts from my own server in the spirit of improving the privacy of my site visitors.

Here is how I did it and some of the problems I ran into. #webdesign #fonts #privacy

Neobrutalism is a new UI design style that's been emerging on the web over the last couple of years.

Having seen good and bad examples of this, I'm glad the fabulous folks at NN/g are sharing some best practices around how to use it.

And paying a bill? You know your #UI / #UX is bad if you have to try to tell people what to do, because they're gonna do the wrong thing quite often. If you have to say "Press TAB" in your instructions, you have already lost.

Nevermind that no normal human ever says the phrase "is populated" to mean they filled something in or entered their information.

It turns out that making your own icon web font is a lot more work than one might think. I'm currently working on assets for the web app I'm building. I'm making it all for my own needs, but I'll likely put this and other bits out under a GPL for others to use. In this icon set I'm only including FOSS third party logos, as that's all I'll associate with now. The idea of making my own icon font actually came from that they generally focus on the same old commercial ones and ignore all the cool things.
