Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
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.

The new Google Fonts: find what you’re looking for
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.

Just launched my first svelte project! An opensource alternative to Google Fonts, with a focus on variable fonts. Coming from a React background Svelte has been absolutely amazing to work with.
I personally like using FontSource for this, they have some extra fonts beyond Google Fonts too
