Why is excalidraw so good?
We’ve open sourced the font and made a lot of small but important changes to it over the past 6 months. If you are willing to help, it would be great if you could open an issue with specific words that are difficult to read with your dyslexia and we can figure out how to tweak the font to remove the ambiguity. Thanks for bringing this up!

Don’t Sell Your Indie Business to Digital Ocean
More detail about the broken coding-font microsite of CSS tricks:
CSS Tricks had built a coding font microsite. In May 2022, less than two months after CSS Tricks got bought, the CSS Tricks microsite was broken, and someone reported an issue on Github[1]. Chris, who would be in an advisory role according to the Digital Ocean announcement, answered quickly:
> I’m afraid I’m not sure what Digital Ocean plans to do with it. I would, of course, vote for it to be re-hosted right at coding-fonts.css-tricks.com — and would be happy to help put it on Digital Ocean App Platform as well!
It was clear that Chris as an advisor wasn’t given any real access to decision-makers at Digital Ocean to make any difference in such a simple matter. It was such a simple and easy matter to solve that a bystander came forward and hosted the microsite somewhere else, ironically on Netlify [2] — a competitor to Digital Ocean.
