Show HN: Fontofweb – Discover Fonts Used on a Website or Websites Using Font(s)

  • The searching for usage of fonts is a useful feature. But for identifying fonts on specific websites, I find the browser dev tools to be more than sufficient. There is a “fonts” tab that lists all the fonts in use and their attributes like weight, any variable axis, etc.

  • 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.

  • 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 :)

  • 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?

  • Hey! That looks like the stack I’m working with! You just seem further :)

    Totally meta, and I appreciate FOW (cool!) but I’m pretty interested in your learnings building and deploying with this stack!

    Congrats on launch!

  • Might want to consider upgrading that VPS for a couple of days
