  • Only minor thing I noticed from a quick browse of the code was that you're directly pulling in font files from Google. Not a massive issue for most people but it does cause implicit sharing of data with Google which can be a concern for folks in the open source & self hosted communities. Generally better to bring those kinds of resources into the project to be statically served with the project.
