Nicely done, it's great to have a side by side comparison. It's made me realize I don't actually like the fonts I was using and I ended up on Roboto Mono, Ubuntu and Fira Mono.
I'll echo what the other comments are saying - it'll be good to make it a blind tournament with some representative code samples from languages like C#, Python, TypeScript etc. At the end you could present the 'top 5' fonts that were chosen by the user (or all of them, ranked)
I'm not a fan of ligatures so I'd want to eliminate them entirely or see such things in the code sample shown so that I can choose/disallow it.
Because it's for IDEs, make good use of the screen real estate, maybe that 'about' section on the left could go on the bottom, giving the side-by-side comparison more space to view all the code.
The 'Visit Site' link could be a normal hyperlink, my browser is blocking the popup that it creates currently. All that needs to be is an <a> with a target="_blank".
Finally for mobiles I think hide that 'product hunt' badge, it's getting in the way of the buttons.
- wentin 5y agoFor the blind tournament, I just implemented it! Give it a try :)
- INTPenis 5y agoGotta say I love this, I came in just as you had blind tournament mode implemented and it worked great. But I'd also like to skip certain battles and save them for later. Like right now I'm down to 10 fonts and I just can't decide. I'd like to skip to the next battle.
