Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I build and maintain some libraries that are used by teams working on GOV.UK projects in Rails. Have been inundated with offers since their release, and they've gone on to be used in some fairly high profile things.

USWDS: The United States Web Design System
This is my side project, I'm a dev currently contracting at DfE. This library and the form builder[0] make working with the design system easier for Rails devs.

If you dig around on GitHub you'll see most government departments have an organisation where they publish stuff. For example, here's the MoJ, DfE, Cabinet Office.

Why is uncoupled documentation bad?
This is definitely the best approach in my opinion, providing the people writing the docs are capable of contributing directly.
One of my projects[0] builds and deploys a static documentation site[1] on every push to master. The static site generator (Nanoc, in this case) then pulls in the library and uses it to publish its own documentation. All the examples are snippets of code[2] that are both displayed as-is and eval'd into the final output.
The guide can never be out of sync with the library.

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

Using Fontsource With 11ty
