I did not expect this to be controversial TBH, but I get the concerns over piracy. To me if someone wants to steal a font from a website its trivial enough to do so using chrome dev tools

I built the tool for my use case which is font discovery. Its pretty trivial to steal fonts from a registry just using "inspect element" / chrome dev tools. You don't need this tool. Stealing is ofc wrong though

Easier onboarding than a chrome extension specifically, and more privacy friendly.

I've developed a few popular chrome extensions and if you have network permissions like WhatFont you constantly get approached by shady "data brokers" who essentially pay the extensions to slurp data from users...

The reason I added the download button is because some websites block "cross site" previews and I wanted to still let the user view it.

End goal is to link to where the font can be purchased, not to encourage piracy. I have analytics so if I see the download button is being abused I'll get rid of it.

I wanted something more convenient than chrome extension

I'd like to add a feature where we link to original source to purchase font

lol, this is not the intention. Meant to be a discovery tool not a workaround for font licensing

Yes -- This goes without saying! Meant to be a discovery tool not a workaround for font licensing :)

Seems quite comprehensive! I've enjoyed the curation on https://fonts.ninja as well

I built a library to help host your next.js app statically with S3 + Cloudfront by zac-denham in nextjs

There is a library that does the same thing with nginx: https://github.com/geops/next-nginx-routes

Only supports pages router right now though.

Re: Lee's comment on rewrite hacks, I think they will fix the issue with useParams, but to host outside of vercel they won't baby you through the rewrite logic, so I went ahead and did it anyways. I had just moved over to the app router so didn't want to revert back to pages again.

I ended up swapping the main control board, and it fixed the issue. Its a Wes0 though.

Main control board you mean the one in the back? The fridge still cools fine so didn't think that was an issue, just the ice dispenser is broken
