Hey, I'm Tim, a senior fullstack developer from New York, now based in Mexico. I have more than 12 YoE on all kinds of web apps as well as mobile and server environments. I love backend and APIs, but I have a passion for pixel-perfect UIs and frontend magic. I have built many of my own projects from start to finish so I have learned a lot about good UX/UI, can choose the best technologies for the job, spot problems before they arrive and write solid tests. My prior career in journalism made me a great communicator and writer. I also enjoy devops and managing servers using Linux, Docker and Kubernetes. I have built many apps on AWS and Google Cloud, including using Terraform for infra and Github Actions for CI/CD.
Right now, I have a side hustle bootstrapping Hot Page (https://hot.page) and releasing native HTML web components as part of my open source project HotFX (https://fx.hot.page).
this is really fascinating considering that they package it as a npm package which is then used by jsdelivr which is essentially a free really low latency sponsored/(essentially operated?) by cloudflare and fastly etc.
I just checked and jsdelivr has had like 300 billion requests past month and over 16,813 TB
Really fascinating stuff. I will try to use this from now on! (earlier I was thinking of using something like coollabs.io but I checked its code and I see that the fonts are served through something like bunnycdn from coollabs side which is cool but still)
Honestly, what other things would be better off packaged as npm packages as I never thought that packaging fonts as npm package should make so much sense but here we are!
With a zero-tracking and no-logging policy, Bunny Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant and puts your user's personal data into their own hands. Additionally, you can enjoy lightning-fast load times thanks to bunny.net's global CDN network to help improve SEO and deliver a better user experience.
You don't need to use bunny when you can use fontsource with something like jsdelivr
I think that jsdelivr is also gdpr compliant considering how much they are used, right?
+1
I can understand if author doesn't know how to use npm just for fonts yknow but he should definitely look to your comment and respond what his opinions are on the matter
Definitely curious as this seems a much better way to handle things ergonomically instead of the way author suggested way
I also feel like hosting your own cdn is definitely easy with this by just downloading npm package or embedding it directly I suppose?
There are definitely other ways to do this too. This discussion was really fun as I saw so many ways to embed fonts other than what I had known but this seems to be a mix and match between privacy and not having to embed it myself.

Wow, thanks! I've basically been building this in a silo so it's very nice to get such enthusiastic feedback. I am really dedicated to bootstrapping Hot Page with my own resources so that no one can pressure me to make the design more generic or somehow exploit the customers. Of course, it has not been easy doing all the programming and most of the marketing myself though. Right now we really need customers like yourself who are willing to use the beta version and provide feedback -- so thanks so much for your support!
There was an issue yesterday evening that was causing 500 errors. My apologies to anyone who experienced this but it's been fixed now. Please try it again!
Oh wow, thanks for flagging that. Unfortunately our discord is more of a want-to-be discord at this point. But please join! you will be able to chat with me and my cofounders at least
Hey, Hot Page is my project and that's pretty much where we're going with this. The idea is to use Web Components and real DOM instead of the "blocks" abstraction present in so many editors these days.
