fontsource VS MonitorControl

Fontsource[0] is also an easy way to self-host variable fonts via NPM packages.

A few years ago, while I was still in high school, I began learning how to create websites purely for fun. One thing I found to be tedious was self-hosting fonts, with existing solutions to improve it completely abandoned. Consequently, I decided to learn a bit more about JavaScript by rewriting and improving these abandoned projects which led to the creation of Fontsource[0].

This project has undoubtedly set of a series of impactful events in my life, and I attribute many of my successes to it. I've had opportunities to network with numerous amazing engineers through it, leading to a part-time role and multiple internships. Companies that approached me for support also wanted to keep in touch! I also graduate this year and I am going with a full-time role from one of the aforementioned internships.

While I acknowledge my circumstances are extremely fortunate, I genuinely believe that having open source projects early on in your career can significantly contribute to standing out as a developer.

Tip: more privacy friendly Google alternatives are available and super easy to use: https://fontsource.org/

I switched most of my sites to use it and I’ve been quite happy so far.

No need to leak data to Google.

For weirder stuff (e.g. https://tidings.potato.horse) I use sites like dafont.com and convert fonts using Font Squirrel.

Fontsource publishes all Google Fonts fonts as NPM packages, allowing you to easily import them with modern bundlers.

I personally like using FontSource for this, they have some extra fonts beyond Google Fonts too

I stumbled upon fontsource.org the other day and I found the idea of installing fonts from npm packages appealing.

To do this with SvelteKit, you can use the Fontsource project. They host all of the Google Fonts catalogue as NPM packages.

I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:

Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.

Let me introduce you to Monitor Control:https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

You can with monitor control app

I'm glad you asked! I control the volume of them thru the monitor using the back/forward buttons on my mx master 3 mouse via the MonitorControl app, it's great!

Installed https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl and worked like a charm, big thanks!

As a fellow Mac + OLED TV owner, I think you'll appreciate these too. MonitorControl to access brightness settings through your keyboard and Hazeover to darken background and prevent burn-in.
